Windy Ridge Farm, Appellants v. Assessor of the Town of Shandaken, Respondents

Summary

The Court affirmed the Appellate Division’s dismissal of the petition for failure to join necessary parties, holding that Ulster County and the Onteora Central School District are subject to the court’s jurisdiction and therefore must be ordered summoned rather than considered under discretionary factors. The dismissal was proper because the petitioners’ amendment was barred by the four‑month statute of limitations.
