Narrative Opinion Summary
In a legal action concerning a dispute over a residential cooperative corporation's proprietary lease, the plaintiffs appealed an order from the Supreme Court, Nassau County, which granted the defendant's cross motion for summary judgment while denying the plaintiffs' motion for summary judgment. The court affirmed the order, concluding that the defendant did not violate its proprietary lease by passing a resolution to ban or restrict subletting. The court found that the defendant established a prima facie case for summary judgment, while the plaintiffs failed to present a triable issue of fact regarding their claims. The matter was remitted to the Supreme Court for the entry of a judgment reflecting these findings. The decision was supported by the concurrence of Justices O'Brien, Joy, Goldstein, and Luciano.
