May 2010 G&C Special Counsel Wins Reversal from NYS Court of Appeals Congratulations to G&C's special counsel, Darrell W. Harp, known well to many of our clients and friends as the long time former NYS-DOT Deputy Commissioner & General Counsel. Darrell recently had the privilege of arguing a case before New York State's highest court, the Court of Appeals in Albany. In the matter Hargett v. Town of Ticonderoga, et al., which involved an eminent domain/condemnation controversy, the Town's Superintendent of Highways was held to have exceeded his authority in seeking to condemn certain real property for highway purposes.. It is obviously financially burdensome when a citizen is required to challenge a governmental action. In the present appeal (incidentally one of the very first authored by New York's new Chief Judge Jonathan Lippman), Darrell succeeded in obtaining previously denied reimbursement from the Town for all costs and expenses of the proceeding, including reasonable attorney's fees. Bravo, Darrell G&C held a "standing room only" program on January 13, 2010 at the Crowne Plaza Hotel at Laguardia Airport for STA members and an equally well attended program on April 27, 2010 at the New York Gun Club for the WCC membership. New York's previously enacted Prompt Payment Act for construction work on private projects was the target of much criticism for its lack of any meaningful enforcement mechanisms. Unlike the previous Act, the new Prompt Payment Act actually has "teeth" that should create real methods for enforcing timely payments.
