- Q. Can I be sued in civil court for something that occurred in 2011?
- A: Your question involves the statute of limitations for a debt, which in New York is six years. Therefore, without additional facts, it would appear that the action cannot proceed. However, the circumstances appear dubious since you say that you were served with some papers that appeared to be a legal "motion." Unless the amount at issue is less than $5,000, you can find the case on the Court's electronic records page. You would enter the index number shown on the first page to find out if the case was ever filed or the papers were sent to you as a ruse to get you to pay them without an actual case having been commenced. There could be one way that the case would be proper, and that occurs when a payment is made against an outstanding debt, it will extend the statute of limitations for an additional six years from the date of payment. This is called an extension due to reaffirmation.
- Q. Can a corporation denies shareholders to examine books?
- A: Even in the absence of the by-laws or a shareholder agreement, which I assume you have already reviewed, the New York Business Corporation Law provides for a shareholder's right to inspect the books and records of a corporation. BCL 624 provides that any shareholder of record of a corporation may demand to review the books and records upon at least five days written demand during usual business hours. You can review minutes of the proceedings, a record of all shareholders, and make copies related to your interest as a shareholder.
