Document:
In part one of this series I reviewed broker negligence in New Jersey, in part two, I will discuss broker negligence cases in New York.
Contrary to New Jersey where the claim is based in tort, New York allows an agent or broker to be sued under theories of either breach of contract or negligence. Rather than leading to more successful claims against the brokers and agents however, the New York courts have interpreted the duties owed by the brokers in such a restrictive manner, it’s much more difficult to show that a duty has been breached (but it can be done).
