Opinion
Argued April 22, 1952
Decided May 29, 1952
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Appellate Division, Second Department, HART, J.
Max Rothenberg for appellant.
David Gale and Alfred Sobol for respondents.
Order affirmed, with costs. A director has an absolute right to inspect the corporate books ( People ex rel. Wilkins v. Ascher Silk Corp., 237 N.Y. 574, 630), but such right terminates when, as here, an applicant for such an order is removed as director while his application is pending before the Special Term ( Matter of Hafter v. Eagle Fish Co., 296 N.Y. 808). No opinion.
Concur: LOUGHRAN, Ch. J., LEWIS, CONWAY, DESMOND, DYE, FULD and FROESSEL, JJ.
