EREZ v. AIGON TAXI, INC

The motion court properly held that amounts recovered by reason of a cause of action asserted against a third party subsequent to the discharge of the outgoing firm, and in connection with which the outgoing firm had not rendered services, were not subject to the outgoing firm's lien.

We modify only to allow for provable disbursements to appellant ( Shaw v. Manufacturers Hanover Trust Co., 68 N.Y.2d 172, 178).
