COMPLAINT ALLEGATIONS OF A FRAUDULENT CONVEYANCE MADE “UPON INFORMATION AND BELIEF” DO NOT STATE A CAUSE OF ACTION (FIRST DEPT).

The First Department, reversing Supreme Court, determined “upon information and belief” complaint allegations of a fraudulent conveyance did not state a cause of action:

The complaint fails to state a cause of action for constructive fraudulent conveyance under former Debtor and Creditor Law §§ 273 and 274 … . Defendants are members of S. Land Development LLC (S. Land), which previously held title to real property and against which plaintiff obtained a money judgment in 2019 in a related action. Plaintiff alleges that defendants transferred or otherwise encumbered S. Land’s assets, rendering it insolvent and precluding plaintiff from being able to collect on the judgment. However, since the allegations are made “upon information and belief,” the complaint does not sufficiently allege that any transfers were made without fair consideration or rendered S. Land insolvent … . L&M 353 Franklyn Ave. LLC v Steinman, 2022 NY Slip Op 00724, First Dept 2-3-22
