New York Court of Appeals

Anthony Lucio v. Joseph Curran

November 30, 19562 N.Y.2d 157

Summary

The Court of Appeals affirmed the Appellate Division's grant of summary judgment, holding that the plaintiff's general release barred all of his claims—including reinstatement of union membership—against the union and its officers. The dissent argued the release should not preclude the reinstatement claim and would have reversed the judgment.
