Fireworks Advertising, Inc. v. 149 Fifth Avenue Corp.

Citation: 90 A.D.2d 717

Court: Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York; November 15, 1982; New York; State Appellate Court

Narrative Opinion Summary

The Supreme Court of New York County, under Justice McQuillan, issued an order on May 28, 1982, which reversed the denial of the plaintiff's motion for a preliminary injunction, as well as vacated a temporary restraining order that had been granted on May 10 and continued on May 13, 1982. The court ruled unanimously, stating that the notice to cure would be tolled until 15 days after the final judgment in a related declaratory judgment action. This decision aligns with the prior ruling in Fireworks Adv. v 149 Fifth Ave. Corp., which affirmed the Supreme Court's earlier order allowing the defendant to vacate a judgment from January 29, 1982. The tolling of the notice to cure is intended to maintain the status quo between the parties until the case is resolved on its merits. The decision was concurred by Justices Murphy (P.J.), Sullivan, Ross, Bloom, and Milonas.
