April 20, 1897152 N.Y. 529

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals affirmed the lower court's order, holding that the receiver's action to compel an accounting was barred by the six‑year statute of limitations because the cause of action accrued at the time of the fraudulent misapplication, not at the receiver's appointment.
