Wintel Service Corp. v. MSW Electronics Corp.

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
May 29, 1990
161 A.D.2d 764 (N.Y. App. Div. 1990)

Opinion

May 29, 1990

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


Ordered that the appeal from the order is dismissed; and it is further,

Ordered that the judgment is reversed, on the law, the order entered October 6, 1988, is vacated, and the plaintiff's motion for summary judgment is denied; and it is further,

Ordered that the defendants are awarded one bill of costs.

The appeal from the intermediate order must be dismissed because the right of direct appeal therefrom terminated with the entry of judgment in the action (see, Matter of Aho, 39 N.Y.2d 241, 248). The issues raised on appeal from the order are brought up for review and have been considered on the appeal from the judgment (CPLR 5501 [a] [1]).

We find that the plaintiff Wintel Service Corp. (hereinafter Wintel) expressly warranted that it would provide the defendant MSW Electronics Corporation (hereinafter MSW) with telephone handsets which were hearing aid compatible (see, Uniform Commercial Code § 2-313 [a]; see also, Mill Print. Lithographing Corp. v. Solid Waste Mgt. Sys., 65 A.D.2d 590, 590-591; Friedman v. Medtronic, Inc., 42 A.D.2d 185, 190). We further find, contrary to the Supreme Court's determination, that the plaintiff's general disclaimer was ineffective because it was inconsistent with that express warranty (Uniform Commercial Code § 2-316; see, 1 White and Summers, Uniform Commercial Code § 12-2, at 562-563 [3d ed 1988]; see also, Wilson Trading Corp. v. David Ferguson, Ltd., 23 N.Y.2d 398, 404-406; Stream v Sportscar Salon, 91 Misc.2d 99, 102-105).

Although we find that the express warranty was not effectively disclaimed, triable issues of fact nevertheless exist as to whether Wintel breached the express warranty and with respect to damages.

In light of the foregoing, we need not consider the parties' other contentions. Mangano, P.J., Brown, Sullivan and Balletta, JJ., concur.
