Trump Vil. Section 3 v. New York State Hous. Fin. Agency

In Trump Vil. Section 3 v. New York State Hous. Fin. Agency, 307 A.D.2d 891, 764 N.Y.S.2d 17 (1st Dep't 2003), the court dismissed the cross claims for indemnification because it found that the movant, who had provided financing for a construction project, had no obligation other than financing and could not be held liable in negligence. The court further determined that the codefendants had not established that the plaintiff's claims against them sought to hold them vicariously liable for the movant's breach of duty.
