Read the official decision: 2026 NY Slip Op 05991
Holding The Appellate Division reversed the lower court’s confirmation of the referee’s report because the referee failed to identify documents or sources supporting the finding that the mortgaged premises should be sold in one parcel. The matter was remitted for a new determination regarding whether the property can be sold in parcels.
The court’s words
the referee failed to identify any documents or other sources upon which he based his finding that the mortgaged premises should be sold in one parcel
