Opinion
July 6, 1987
Appeal from the Court of Claims (McCabe, J.).
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed insofar as appealed from, with costs.
It is well settled that "[a] promisee may not recover for a broken promise unless he has performed his obligations, usually categorized as a condition precedent", under the contract (McGrath v. Hilding, 41 N.Y.2d 625, 629; see, 5 Williston, Contracts § 676 [3d ed]). Here, the claimant failed to establish that it had performed its obligations under the contract; thus, the court properly granted the defendant's motion to dismiss the claim. Brown, J.P., Eiber, Kunzeman and Sullivan, JJ., concur.
