ASSIGNMENT OF AN INTEREST IN A JUDGMENT WAS VALID EVEN THOUGH THE PARTY WHO PAID THE ASSIGNOR HAD NOT BEEN NOTIFIED OF THE ASSIGNMENT, PAYMENT MADE IN GOOD FAITH TO THE ASSIGNOR TREATED AS IF MADE TO THE ASSIGNEE (SECOND DEPT).

The Second Department, reversing Supreme Court, held that a payment made in good faith to a party (Bynum) who had already assigned his interest in a judgment should be treated as if payment had been made to the right party (the assignee), and the assignment was valid, even though the party who made the payment (Scheiner) was not notified of it:

“An obligor is entitled to a credit for payments mistakenly made to the assignor rather than to the assignee when those payments are made in good faith and in ignorance of the assignment” … . Here, the plaintiffs conceded that Scheiner was entitled to a credit for the $12,000 payment he made to Bynum, and in determining the plaintiffs' motion and upon vacating the satisfaction of judgment, the Supreme Court recalculated the amount of the judgment to reflect that offset. Contrary to the court's determination, the failure to notify Scheiner of the assignment did not render the assignment ineffective … . 1051 Corp v Bynum, 2018 NY Slip Op 05740, Second Dept 8-15-18
