Justice Abraham Gerges on March 2, 2010 signed an order of condemnation in Matter of New York State Urban Development Corp. 32741/09 and directed its filing in the county clerk’s office together with the taking map accompanied by an 82 page decision. It dealt not only with a motion made by potential condemnees to dismiss the petition on a variety of grounds, but 14 affirmative defenses and three counter-claims seeking substantially the same relief as in the motion. (We represent various claimants in the condemnation proceeding as to their “just compensation.”)
The ruling ended the latest legal hurdle for developer Bruce Ratner’s Atlantic Yards project in Brooklyn by dismissing renewed claims by opponents that the $5 billion plan violates the state’s eminent domain law.
