Court Decisions First Judicial Department Civil Court New York County Trial Part 52/4

In this commercial holdover proceeding, petitioner’s motion and respondent’s cross-motion for orders granting summary judgment require the Court to construe a provision in a lease which contains an alleged scrivener’s error-the omission of the word assignment. The Court must decide whether a lease provision which permits petitioner-landlord to terminate the lease should respondent-tenant attempt to exercise its right to sublease the premises, may fairly be read, given other language in the lease provision, to also permit petitioner-landlord to terminate the lease should respondent attempt to exercise its right to assign the lease, notwithstanding the scrivener’s omission of that word in the opening paragraph of the provision.
