LYON v. LYON

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department.
Aug 3, 1998

Ordered that the order is affirmed insofar as appealed from, with costs.

Contrary to the plaintiffs contention, the Supreme Court properly interpreted the mortgage and note by referring to the judgment of divorce and other documents ( see, Restatement [Second] of Contracts, ยงยง 210, 215, 216; see also, Nau v. Vulcan Rail Constr. Co., 286 N.Y. 188). We agree with the Supreme Court that there are issues of fact which preclude granting summary judgment in his favor ( see, Boston Concessions Group v. Criterion Ctr. Corp., 200 A.D.2d 543).

The plaintiffs contention regarding the applicability of the doctrine of judicial estoppel is without merit ( cf., Douglas v. Government Empls. Ins. Co., 237 A.D.2d 246; Ford Motor Credit Co. v. Colonial Funding Corp., 215 A.D.2d 435).

O'Brien, J. P., Santucci, Krausman and Goldstein, JJ., concur.
