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.
