New York Court of Appeals

Richard C. Cahn v. Town of Huntington

January 13, 197229 N.Y.2d 451

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals affirmed the judgment awarding attorney fees to the Planning Board, holding that the Planning Board possessed implied authority to retain private counsel in the litigation with the Town Board. The court reasoned that Section 65 of the Town Law does not preclude such implied authority and that the Board acted in good faith.
