New York Court of Appeals Roundup: Improper Solicitation, Post-Release Supervision, Stabilized Rent Increases
In their monthly column in the New York Law Journal, Roy Reardon and Mary Elizabeth McGarry discuss a decision arising out of the sale of a business in which the Court of Appeals provided some guidance on what constitutes improper solicitation by the seller of its former clients. They also discuss a decision resolving six cases in which the sentencing court failed to impose post-release supervision during the initial sentencing hearing. Lastly, they discuss a decision in which the Court considered whether the New York City Rent Guidelines Board has the authority to promulgate orders allowing different rent increases for apartments based upon whether there had been a recent vacancy.
