Leon v. Martinezgreen

2014Defendant’s moving submission fell far short of conclusively establishing its claimed defense that Muhammed “withdrew” from his course of study “at his own request” pursuant to a “Leave of Absence Petition” that he filed on November 5, 2009, beyond the fourth week of the academic semester and thus, the argument goes, untimely under defendant’s published “Refund Schedule.” In so arguing, defendant conveniently omits any reference — either in its motion papers below or its appellate brief to this court — to a November 3, 2009 letter written to Muhammed by one of defendant’s London-based employee

2004Taking the above allegations as true (see Gingold v Beekman, 183 AD2d 870 [1992]), and according the plaintiff “the benefit of every possible favorable inference” (Leon v Martinez, 84 NY2d 83, 87-88 [1994]), we agree with the Supreme Court that the complaint alleges a viable breach of contract claim.

2007While it is true that a party may, under certain circumstances, vindicate its contractual rights through the recovery of nominal damages (see Kronos, Inc. v AVX Corp., 81 NY2d 90, 96 [1993]), in view of the sparse evidence as to any breach of the separation agreement on the part of Molin, as well as the fact that plaintiffs themselves appear to have breached the agreement, and the proof showing that the agreement’s noncompete provision, allegedly disclosed by Molin in violation of the agreement’s confidentiality provisions, was commonly known by those practicing in the area of business in whic
