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.
