New York Court of Appeals

Voorheesville Rod and Gun Club, Inc., Respondent v. E. W. Tompkins Company, Inc., Appellant

December 20, 199382 N.Y.2d 564

Summary

The Court held that the Village of Voorheesville's subdivision regulations apply to the sale of a parcel even though the parties intended the land to remain undeveloped, but the seller's failure to obtain subdivision approval does not make the title unmarketable; therefore the plaintiff's motion for specific performance was denied and the complaint dismissed.
