Haslacha , Inc. v. Jubilee, Inc‪.‬

After both sides rested in this commercial landlord-tenant holdover proceeding, the matter was adjourned for closing arguments. In this interim period, between the parties resting and closing statements, Petitioner corporation was dissolved by proclamation of the Secretary of State pursuant to the New York Tax Law. During summation, Respondent orally moved to dismiss this action based on Respondents standing to maintain this suit as a dissolved corporation; this motion was later repeated in writing, in which Respondent requested the alternative relief of staying the action until such time as Petition can prove that it is no longer a dissolved corporation under the laws of the State of New York.
