THE TENANT WAS NOT ENTITLED TO A YELLOWSTONE INJUNCTION BECAUSE THE RELIEF WAS SOUGHT AFTER THE DEADLINE IN THE NOTICE TO CURE; THAT DEADLINE WAS CONTROLLED BY THE LEASE AND THEREFORE WAS NOT EXTENDED BY THE COVID-RELATED EXECUTIVE ORDERS (SECOND DEPT).

The Second Department, reversing Supreme Court, determined the tenant was not entitled to a Yellowstone injunction because the relief was not sought before the deadline in the notice to cure, which is controlled by the lease. The time-limit extensions in response to COVID do not apply to the notice-to-cure deadline which is contractual:

… [T]he landlord served a notice to cure on the tenant on May 15, 2020, and the cure period ended on June 1, 2020, in accordance with the terms of the lease. When the tenant did not cure the alleged defects, the landlord served a notice of termination on June 2, 2020. The tenant commenced this action and moved for a Yellowstone injunction on June 15, 2020, well after the cure period expired.

Executive Order 202.8, and the subsequent orders extending that order, did not toll the cure period since the cure period, set by contract, was not “prescribed by [a] procedural law[ ] of the state” or “any other statute, local law, ordinance, order, rule, or regulation” (9 NYCRR 8.202.8). Moreover, filing of new non-essential matters through the New York State Courts Electronic Filing System was available in the five New York City counties, including Kings County, as of May 25, 2020 … . Prestige Deli & Grill Corp. v PLG Bedford Holdings, LLC, 2023 NY Slip Op 01019, Second Dept 2-22-23

Practice Point: The deadlines extended by the COVID Executive Orders do not apply to contractual deadlines (here the deadline for seeking a Yellowstone injunction after the tenant’s receipt of a notice to cure).
