Cole, Schotz, Meisel, Forman & Leonard, P.A. v. Stanton Crenshaw Communications, LLC

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York

Decided October 4, 2011Published

1Opinion of the Court

The stipulation on which defendants rely does not clearly and unambiguously manifest an intent on plaintiffs part to release defendants from future rent obligations under the lease (see Gilbert Frank Corp. v Federal Ins. Co., 70 NY2d 966, 968 [1988]; NAB Constr. Corp. v City of New York, 276 AD2d 388 [2000]).

We have considered defendants’ remaining contentions and find them unavailing. Concur — Andrias, J.P, Friedman, Renwick, Richter and Manzanet-Daniels, JJ.
