New York Court of Appeals
In the Matter of Transactive Corporation, Appellant v. New York State Department of Social Services…
December 3, 199892 N.Y.2d 579
Summary
The New York Court of Appeals affirmed the Appellate Division's order, holding that none of the petitioners had standing to challenge the award of the electronic benefit transfer contract to Citicorp. The Court reasoned that the petitioners lacked an injury in fact and were not within the statutory zone of interests, and that taxpayer standing under State Finance Law §§ 123-b and common‑law was unavailable.
