Laribee Wire Manufacturing Co. v. L & L Wire Co.

Opinion of the Court

— In an action to recover damages for goods sold and delivered and to recover on a personal guarantee executed by the defendant Louis Haber, the plaintiff appeals from an order of the Supreme Court, Nassau County (Burke, J.), dated August 17, 1987, which denied its motion for summary judgment as against Louis Haber.

Ordered that the order is affirmed, with costs.

It is uncontroverted that the goods for which payment was sought were sold subsequent to the defendant Haber’s oral notification to the plaintiff of the sale of the corporate defendant. The sale was also made subsequent to the date on which *499the plaintiff accepted payment by Haber for all outstanding obligations covered by the guarantee.

Under the circumstances, triable issues of fact exist with respect to the circumstances surrounding the sale of the business, the effect of Haber’s oral notification and the conduct of the parties with respect to satisfaction of all outstanding debts such that the denial of the plaintiff’s motion for summary judgment was proper. Thompson, J. P., Brown, Weinstein and Balletta, JJ., concur.
