Agency Dispute

Jerome S. Oliner

Dismissal, with prejudice was obtained on behalf of our client, a property management company. Plaintiff, a majority owner of condominium units and cooperative shares as related to two separate buildings, claimed that the property management company’s actions resulted in a waste of assets and economic loss. Court Orders directing the plaintiff to disclose financial data related to its claims were repeatedly disregarded. Ultimately, the Court dismissed plaintiff’s action with prejudice finding that the failure to provide Court ordered discovery was willful and contumacious. In doing so the Court denied plaintiff’s Motion lo Voluntarily Discontinue the Action, based upon a late contradictory claim of lack of standing, finding same to be nothing more than an attempt to avoid the consequences of the Court’s prior Orders.
