New York Court of Appeals
Mesivta of Forest Hills Institute, Inc. v. City of New York
March 23, 198358 N.Y.2d 1014
Summary
The Court reversed the Appellate Division, holding that the Board of Education's action to reacquire and remodel a former school building was valid because the plaintiffs' taxpayer suit under §51 of the General Municipal Law failed to allege fraud or waste, and a mere failure to comply with statutory detail requirements does not satisfy that requirement.
