New York Court of Appeals
Amir Manocherian, Doing Business as Fame Company, Appellants v. Lenox Hill Hospital, Respondents, Et…
October 20, 199484 N.Y.2d 385
Summary
The Court held that chapter 940 of the Laws of 1984 is unconstitutional because it does not substantially advance a legitimate State interest and fails the close‑causal‑nexus requirement of the regulatory‑takings test, reversing the Appellate Division and remanding for further proceedings. Two dissenting opinions (Levine and Ciparick) argued that the statute does further a legitimate interest and should be upheld.
