RUTH SHOMRON, on Behalf of RL REALTY ASSOCIATES, Respondent, v. ETHEL J. GRIFFIN, Public Administrator of New York County, as Temporary Administrator of the Estate of YORAM FUKS, Deceased, et al., Appellants.

Plaintiff brought a complaint seeking the rescission of the sale of four apartments on the basis of fraud, and based on the evidence presented at trial, the court properly found that rescission was the appropriate remedy under the circumstances, as the evidence showed that defendants' fraud caused more than a negligible injury to plaintiff and plaintiff lacked a complete and adequate remedy at law ( see Frame v Maynard, 39 AD3d 328; Dunkin' Donuts v HWT Assoc., 181 AD2d 711).

Plaintiffs causes of action for a constructive trust and breach of fiduciary duty were not barred by the applicable statutes of limitations as they were timely asserted as counterclaims in a prior proceeding later consolidated with the instant matter (CPLR 203 [d]). The fraud cause of action was also timely filed after Shomron's discovery of the fraud in 2000.

We have considered defendants' remaining contentions and find them unavailing.
