Coastal Sheet Metal Corp. filed a lawsuit which claimed it was owed money on some thirteen jobs it had performed for Martin Associates (MA).
After the Bronx County Supreme Court found Coastal had been "overpaid," and granted MA's request to dismiss the case, an appeal to the Appellate Division, First Department, followed.
Since it didn't think the record established that Coastal had been fully compensated, the AD1 was of the view the litigation had ended prematurely and that the matter needed to proceed to trial.
Clearly, that wasn't music to MA's ears.
