In 377 Broome St. Corp. v. McManamon , Kathleen McManamon appealed from an order of the New York County Civil Court which denied her request to stop an eviction which had been triggered by late rent payments.
The Appellate Term, First Department, found McManamon repeatedly breached the terms of a settlement which delineated the payment deadlines as "time is of the essence."
Since such court ordered agreements or stipulations are "strictly enforced," the AT1 refused to further delay or set aside the eviction.
Guess you could say the AT1 gave McManamon the broom.
