(Sup. Ct. N.Y. Cty. 8/21/2000)

This case was a dispute about the propriety of the landlord’s objection to a proposed sub-tenant, where tenant merged with another entity but failed to give landlord notice of such under lease. Court held that landlord was not subject to arbitration requirement under lease, because landlord shouldn’t be forced to arbitrate with a successor to tenant who is present only because tenant breached the lease terms.  Link to Full Text of Decision
