SUPREME COURT SHOULD NOT HAVE IGNORED THE NOTICE REQUIREMENTS IN THE BUSINESS CORPORATION LAW AND SHOULD NOT HAVE DISSOLVED THE CLOSELY HELD CORPORATION WITHOUT A HEARING (SECOND DEPT).

The Second Department determined Supreme Court should not have ignored the statutory notice requirements in this action to dissolve a closely held corporation (VJN) and should not have dissolved the corporation without a hearing:

Business Corporation Law § 1106(a) provides, inter alia, that, upon the filing of a petition for dissolution of a corporation, “the court shall make an order requiring the corporation and all persons interested in the corporation to show cause before it . . . why the corporation should not be dissolved.” The statute further provides, in relevant part, that “[a] copy of the order to show cause shall be published as prescribed therein, at least once in each of the three weeks before the time appointed for the hearing thereon, in one or more newspapers, specified in the order,” and that a copy of the order be served upon the New York State Tax Commission (hereinafter the Tax Commission) … . Here, it is undisputed that the petitioner’s order to show cause contained a provision providing for its publication; however, that provision was stricken, and therefore, the order to show cause ultimately was not published. It is also undisputed that the order to show cause was never served on the Tax Commission. …

… [W]e disagree with the Supreme Court’s determination that the petitioner established his entitlement to the dissolution of VJN. The affidavit submitted by the respondent in opposition to the petition raised questions of fact regarding the merits of the petition and the appropriate remedy … . Indeed, there is no indication that the court gave any consideration as to whether a remedy other than dissolution would have been appropriate … . Under these circumstances, the court should not have ordered the dissolution of VJN and the sale of the subject property without conducting a hearing … . Matter of Nicastro v VJN Real Estate Corp., 2019 NY Slip Op 06495, Second Dept 9-11-19
