Supreme Court, New York County · October 13, 2026 · 2026 NY Slip Op 51706[U]
Promise Homes Co. LLC v Promise Homes Inv., LLC
Read the official decision: 2026 NY Slip Op 51706[U]
Holding The court denied the defendant’s motion to stay the breach of contract action because the pending California lawsuit involved different legal entities and separate promissory notes, meaning the proceedings did not share common questions of law or fact. The court further determined that a stay would inordinately delay justice given that no discovery had occurred over a year after the complaint was filed.
The court’s words
The assertion of an indecorous motive, or an improper animus behind the filing of this action, will not overcome the movant's obligation to establish that the separate proceedings involve common questions of law or fact
