I-T-E Imperial Corp. v. Bankers Trust Co.
Opinion of the Court
OPINION OF THE COURT
Memorandum.
The order of the Appellate Division should be affirmed, with costs.
Before us appellant argues that the legislative history of article 3-A of the Lien Law requires a reversal because the extensive quotation at page 547 of the 1958 Report of the Law Revision Commission from Gramatan-Sullivan, Inc. v Koslow (143 F Supp 641, affd 240 F2d 523, cert den 353 US 958) shows an intent to incorporate in the definition of “purchaser in good faith for value” as those words are used in subdivision 1 of section 72 of the Lien Law, the limitation that notice of facts sufficient to create a duty of inquiry bars purchaser in good faith status. The wording of the subdivision
Order affirmed.
“Nothing in this article affects the rights of a holder in due course of a negotiable instrument or of a purchaser in good faith for value and without notice that a transfer to him is a diversion of trust assets.”
