In addition, we conclude that petitioner's failure to pay respondent that compensation constituted a deduction from wages in violation of Labor Law § 193 (1) ( cf.

We conclude, on the record before us, that the court erred in relying solely on the doctrine of contra proferentem to conclude that the tenant does not owe real estate taxes and insurance payments under the lease, inasmuch as "it cannot be assumed that all relevant extrinsic evidence has been presented at this stage of the litigation" ( Perella Weinberg Partners LLC v Kramer , 153 AD3d 443, 448 [1st Dept 2017]; see Birdsong Estates Homeowners Assn., Inc. , 101 AD3d at 1737).

Defendants established their entitlement to summary judgment dismissing plaintiff's Labor Law § 193(1) cause of action, as a wholesale withholding of payment does not constitute a "deduction" within the meaning of Labor Law § 193 ( Perella Weinberg Partners LLC v Kramer , 153 AD3d 443, 449 [1st Dept 2017]; see also Kanthan v Tagstone Tech., LLC , 224 AD3d 593 , 593 [1st Dept 2024]; Vergara v Mission Capital Advisors, LLC , 200 AD3d 484 , 485 [1st Dept 2021]).

On appeal, the Appellate Division held: "Here, the issue of defendants' alleged misconduct by violating the non-solicitation and noncompete provisions of the DCA and breaching their duty of loyalty as alleged in the complaint, which, if proven, would unquestionably constitute a termination for cause under the DCA, remains an issue of fact to be determined by the jury at trial" ( Perella Weinberg Partners, LLC v Kramer , 153 AD3d 443, 445 [1st Dept 2017]).

Kolchins's Labor Law § 193 claim was correctly dismissed, because Evolution's failure to pay the Production Bonus constitutes a "wholesale withholding of payment," which is not a "deduction" within the meaning Labor Law § 193 ( Perella Weinberg Partners LLC v Kramer , 153 AD3d 443, 449-450 [1st Dept 2017]).

Plaintiff's Labor Law § 193 claim was properly dismissed because plaintiff did not allege that defendants made deductions from his salary, and withholding of payment is not actionable under this statutory section ( see Perella Weinberg Partners LLC v Kramer , 153 AD3d 443, 449-450 [1st Dept 2017]; see also Goldberg v Jacquet , 667 Fed Appx 313, 314 [2d Cir 2016]).

As explained below, this defense fails under both New York and Delaware law because the oral misrepresentations Charney purports to have relied on directly conflict with the express written terms of the Agreements, making any purported reliance by Charney unreasonable.92 Under New York law, in order to prove fraudulent inducement, a party must establish that there was a “misrepresentation of a material fact, which was known by [the adversary] to be false and intended to be relied on when made, and that there was justifiable reliance and resulting injury.”93 New York courts find it 92 Given…

However, if the terms of the lease are not clear from the four corners of the document, and extrinsic evidence is needed to interpret those terms, then this further raises an issue of fact (see Perella Weinberg Partners LLC v Kramer, 153 AD3d 443, 446 [1st Dept 2017] [stating that when interpreting the terms of an ambiguous contract, if the “ ‘determination of the intent of the parties depends on the credibility of extrinsic evidence or on a choice among reasonable inferences to be drawn from extrinsic evidence, then such determination is to be made by the jury’ ”], quoting Hartford Ac…

The defendants do not make citation to any New York Court of Appeals decision in support of their argument that “Section 193 has nothing to do with failure to pay wages or severance benefits, governing instead the specific subject of making deductions from wages.” New York lower courts are divided on this issue, with some courts finding that failure to pay earned wages constitutes an unlawful deduction from the wages, see, e. g., Zinno v. Schlehr, 175 A.D.3d 843 , 844, 107 N.Y.S.3d 220 , 221 (App. Div. 4th Dep’t 2019) (failure to pay the plaintiff “the full amount of the additional com…

There is no dispute that the additional compensation owed to plaintiff constituted earned "wages" that were "vested and mandatory as opposed to discretionary and forfeitable" ( Truelove v Northeast Capital & Advisory , 268 AD2d 648, 649 [3d Dept 2000], affd 95 NY2d 220 [2000]; see Labor Law § 190 [1]; see also Doolittle v Nixon Peabody LLP , 126 AD3d 1519, 1520 [4th Dept 2015]), and we conclude that defendant's failure to pay plaintiff by June 21, 2016 the full amount of the additional compensation that plaintiff had earned, as required by the parties' agreement, constituted a deduction from …
