LTCB Trust Co. v. 3 East 54th Street Associates

—Order, Supreme Court, New York County (Richard Lowe, III, J.), entered July 10, 1997, which, inter alia, granted plaintiffs motion for summary judgment on its cause of action for foreclosure of a mortgage, unanimously affirmed, with costs. Defendant claims that its failure to make the full interest payment that resulted in acceleration of the loan was a “hyper-technical default” wrongfully induced by plaintiffs misrepresentation that such a default was necessary “to make a re [276] structuring of the loan more palatable to Plaintiffs home office”. We agree with the IAS Court that defendant’s alleged reliance on such alleged misrepresentation involving this $60 million loan fails to establish a triable issue with respect to estopping plaintiff from asserting the default (see, Chemical Bank v Broadway 55-56th St. Assocs., 220 AD2d 308). We have considered defendant’s remaining arguments and find them to be without merit. Concur — Wallach, J. P., Rubin, Williams, Mazzarelli and Saxe, JJ.
