New York Court of Appeals

Gilbert Giles, Respondent v. William Austin, Appellant

September 21, 187562 N.Y. 486

Summary

The Court affirmed the judgment, holding that a lessee may seek equitable relief from a forfeiture in a separate action rather than by a supplemental answer in the ejectment suit, and that mere delay in paying taxes and assessments, absent bad faith, does not bar such relief.
