Court: Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department

Date published: Apr 12, 1999

260 A.D.2d 427 (N.Y. App. Div. 1999)

687 N.Y.S.2d 720

Opinion

April 12, 1999

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Nassau County (Phelan, J.).

Ordered that the order is affirmed, with costs.

Stipulations of settlement are highly favored by the courts and will not lightly be set aside ( see, Gildston v. Terilli, 146 A.D.2d 738; Passavanti v. Pezzullo, 133 A.D.2d 75). Under the circumstances of this case, the defendant's failure to comply with the material terms of certain stipulations of settlement upon which the confession of judgment was based justified the court's enforcement of the judgment ( see, Mill Rock Plaza Assocs. v. Lively, 224 A.D.2d 301).

S. Miller, J. P., Sullivan, Friedmann and Luciano, JJ., concur.
