Stockley v. Gorelik

In Stockley v. Gorelik, 24 AD3d 535 [2005] the court granted plaintiffs' - owners of a condominium - application for a preliminary injunction thereby enjoining defendants - also owners of the condominium - from building a structure, which plaintiffs established would "encroach upon portions of the common elements of the condominium, which may require an easement the defendants did not seek, and would deprive the plaintiffs of the use and enjoyment of certain common elements, as well as portions of their own units" (id. at 536). The court held that plaintiffs' evidence established a likelihood of success on the merits insofar as they demonstrated that they had initially authorized defendants' proposed construction without being fully apprised of its extent, which didn't become known until plans were drawn (id.).
