New York Court of Appeals

F. I. duPont, Glore Forgan & Co., Appellant v. William S. Chen, Respondents

June 9, 197741 N.Y.2d 794

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals reversed the Appellate Division's dismissal of the complaint, holding that service of process on an apartment doorman can satisfy CPLR 308(2) as a person of suitable age and discretion and as delivery at the actual dwelling place, and that the defendants were not denied due process in the referee's credibility findings.
