MPH Secures Favorable Decision in Appellate Division

By Decision & Order dated November 3, 2021, the Appellate Division, Second Department, sustained claims by MPH’s client for breach of contract and negligent misrepresentation in an action brought against the client’s insurance broker. The proceedings in the appellate court involved an appeal and a cross-appeal from the decision of the lower court. MPH prevailed in both regards as the prior dismissal of the fraudulent misrepresentation was reversed and the prior sustaining of the breach of contract action was affirmed. Timothy Hill drafted and argued the appeal. Copacabana Realty, LLC v. A.J.Benet, Inc. (2nd Dep’t 2021).
