DISPUTES ABOUT ENCROACHMENTS ON EASEMENTS RESOLVED; UNCLEAN HANDS AND LACHES DEFENSES REINSTATED (FIRST DEPT).

The First Department, in a full-fledged opinion by Justice Moulton, modifying Supreme Court, determined the unclean hands and laches defenses should not have been dismissed in this complicated case resolving the removal of encroachments from easements. The case is too complex and entails too much minutia to fairly summarize. 214 Lafayette House LLC v Akasa Holdings LLC, 2024 NY Slip Op 01762, First Dept 3-28-24
