New York Court of Appeals
Fourth Ocean Putnam Corp. v. Interstate Wrecking Co., Inc.
October 15, 198566 N.Y.2d 38
Summary
The New York Court of Appeals affirmed the Appellate Division's dismissal of Fourth Ocean Putnam Corp.'s action. The court held that the claim against the Village was barred by CPLR 9802 because notice and suit were untimely, and that Fourth Ocean was only an incidental, not an intended, third‑party beneficiary of the demolition contract and therefore could not sue Interstate Wrecking Co. as a beneficiary.
