Motion practice.

Practice point: Recission is appropriate when defendant's fraud caused a significant injury and plaintiff has no adequate remedy at law.

Students should note that an action is not time-barred when it was asserted as a counterclaim in a prior proceeding and consolidated with the instant action, pursuant to CPLR 203(d).

Case: Shomron v. Griffin, NY Slip Op 00723 (1st Dept. 2010)

The opinion is here.
