May 31, 2007

(NYLJ 4/4/07, p. 18, col. 1), in which the Court of Appeals held that successor purchasers were bound by deed language restricting the original purchaser to use of the property for rehabilitation or conservation of the existing building or construction of one to four unit dwellings.

Ontario was the first province in Canada to adopt a UCC Article 9 type registration system called the '<i>Personal Property Security Act</i>' or PPSA. During the early 1990s, Ontario refreshed its legislation, and other Canadian provinces soon followed with their own acts that were modeled on but not the same as the Ontario PPSA.

However, two recent cases in New York have applied the teachings of the decision to find that some malpractice claimants who are also Medicaid benefits recipients and who settle with those who allegedly injured them must be allowed to keep for themselves more of the proceeds of their claims.
