ALTHOUGH THE COMPLAINT STATED CAUSES OF ACTION FOR NEGLIGENT MISREPRESENTATION AND FRAUD, THE JUDICIARY LAW 487 CAUSE OF ACTION SHOULD HAVE BEEN DISMISSED BECAUSE IT WAS NOT ALLEGED THE DECEIT OCCURRED DURING A JUDICIAL PROCEEDING (SECOND DEPT).

The Second Department, reversing Supreme Court, determined defendant-attorney’s motion to dismiss the Judiciary Law 487 cause of action should have been granted because the deceit or fraud was not alleged to have occurred during a judicial proceeding. Plaintiff alleged the misrepresentation concerned a guaranty for payment on a note related to the sale of plaintiff’s business:

Supreme Court should have granted that branch of the defendant’s motion which was to dismiss the fourth cause of action. “[A] Judiciary Law § 487 cause of action requires that the alleged deceit occurred during a judicial proceeding in which the plaintiff was a party” … . Here, the complaint failed to allege that the deceit occurred during a judicial proceeding or before any court … . Pszeniczny v Horn, 2021 NY Slip Op 02553, Second Dept 4-28-21
