Tacora Nantucket Fin. LLC v Nantucket Capital Corp.
Read the official decision: 2026 NY Slip Op 06565
Holding The Appellate Division reversed the lower court’s denial of a preliminary injunction, granting an anti-suit injunction to stop defendants from prosecuting a California lawsuit. The court found that defendants acted in bad faith by concealing the California filing while engaging in settlement discussions and explicitly aiming to invalidate New York forum selection clauses.
The court’s words
Defendants lulled plaintiffs into inaction by initiating settlement discussions, including by asking plaintiffs to enter into a pre-negotiation letter to explore possible resolution.
