Summary
holding that Section 296 permits individual liability for one who aids and abets discriminatory conduct
Summary of this case from Duviella v. Counseling Service of the E.D. of New YorkOpinion
November 2, 1995
Appeal from the Supreme Court, New York County (Stephen Crane, J.).
Executive Law § 296 (6) and (7) provide that an individual may be held liable for aiding and abetting discriminatory conduct. Patrowich v Chemical Bank ( 63 N.Y.2d 541) is not a bar to maintenance of the action. Here, there are issues of fact as to defendant-appellant's liability under Executive Law § 296 (6) and (7) as an aider and abettor of the alleged discriminatory conduct.
