New York Court of Appeals

Banco Popular North America, Respondent v. Victory Taxi Management, Inc., Defendant, and Jafa Albaz, Appellant

February 19, 20041 N.Y.3d 381

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals affirmed summary judgment for Banco Popular, holding that the defendant's affidavit and the handwriting expert's reports did not provide sufficient evidence to create a genuine issue of fact as to the authenticity of the signatures. The Court reasoned that the affidavit was a bare assertion and the expert opinions were inadmissible and lacked a definitive conclusion.
