New York Court of Appeals

General Stencils, Inc. v. Frances Chiappa

July 7, 196618 N.Y.2d 125

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals reversed the Appellate Division, granting a new trial because equitable estoppel may be raised to bar the defendant's three‑year statute of limitations defense where the defendant concealed the conversion, and because the $940 repayment should be applied to the pre‑1961 debt.
