John M. Regan v. John A. Lanze, Appellants-Respondents

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals held that the defendants possessed marketable title to the parcel at 29 Hoyt Place, affirming the trial court’s judgment granting specific performance to the defendants and reversing the Appellate Division. The court reasoned that the State’s appropriations did not impair access easements and that no parol evidence was needed to cure any description defects.
