pro tanto rule in New York

1977The movants have placed substantial reliance on the decision rendered in 1944 in Matter of Muller ( 183 Misc 957 , supra).

1959(See Matter of Koch, 184 Misc 1 .) In Matter of Muller ( 183 Misc. 957 ), this court applied the pro tanto rule to a situation where funds entrusted to an individual prior to her appointment as a fiduciary, by and for the benefit of decedent, had been misappropriated to her own use.

1977However, in several different factual circumstances, the courts have refused to apply the pro tanto rule and permitted the surcharges to inure to the benefit of all of the beneficiaries (Matter of Mette, 273 App Div 740 , affd 298 NY 789 [a surcharge for excessive attorney’s fees]; Matter of Tefft, 41 Misc 2d 673 [a surcharge for interest and penalties arising from late payment of estate taxes]; Matter of Tannenbaum, 30 Misc 2d 743, Mod 20 AD2d 808 , affd 15 NY2d 829 [a surcharge for failing to include goodwill of a business as an asset]; Matter of Goodliffe, 29 Misc 2d 1067 [a surcharge for f

1964Thus, “ [w]hile one who is a public figure or is presently newsworthy may be the proper subject of news or informative presentation, the privilege does not extend to commercialization of his personality through a form of treatment distinct from the dissemination of news or information” (Gautier v. Pro-Football, 304 N. Y. 354, 359 , supra; see, to the same effect, Binns v. Vitagraph Co., 210 N. Y. 51 ; Sutton v. Hearst Corp., 277 App. Div. 155 ; Hill v. Hayes, 18 A D 2d 485, 491, supra).

1959(Joseph v. Herzig, 198 N. Y. 456, 461 ; Matter of Schmidt, 163 Misc. 610 .) By analogy the pro tanto rule may not be extended to a situation where a fiduciary omits from his account an asset which has come into his hands in his fiduciary capacity.
