Motion Granted for Landlord
Winner
Landlord Substantially Won
Synopsis
The Civil Court denied tenant's motion to dismiss for landlord's failure to comply with LLC publication requirements under LLCL § 206 at commencement. The court held that noncompliance is not a jurisdictional defect and that subsequent publication warrants nunc pro tunc application, analogizing to the MDL § 325 registration requirement. Because landlord had begun publication and filing with the Department of State, the proceeding was permitted to continue.
