New York Court of Appeals
Martin Santulli, Respondent-Appellant v. Englert, Reilly & McHugh, P. C., Appellant-Respondent
January 16, 199278 N.Y.2d 700
Summary
The Court held that the plaintiff's breach of contract claim was sufficiently pleaded because an implied promise to exercise due care suffices, and that the legal malpractice claim is timely under the six‑year contract statute of limitations, not the three‑year tort limitations period.
