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.
