In White Plains Coat & Apron Co., Inc. v. Cintas Corp. 8 NY3d 422 [2007] the Court of Appeals gave several examples of valid uses of the defense, including where "defendants were significant stockholders in the breaching party's business; where defendant and the breaching party had a parent-subsidiary relationship; where defendant was the breaching party's creditor; and where the defendant had a managerial contract with the breaching party at the time defendant induced the breach of contract with plaintiff" (8 NY3d at 426).
