Description

At the time the instant motion was made, the Urban Development Corporation (UDC) had not finalized any plan as to what type of housing units it expected to construct, and where in the defendant town they would be constructed. Further, at that time no resolution had, or could have, been adopted by the Town Board, authorizing counsel retained by it to institute an action to invalidate, on constitutional or other grounds, such indefinite plan of public housing. As appears from Special Term's decision, the questions when the motion for the injunction was presented were two in number: (1) whether the board had the power to engage special counsel, who would advise the town and its attorney on the right of UDC lawfully to proceed with the construction of public housing units in a manner subsequently to be finalized by it; and (2) whether the town should oppose such hypothetical UDC plan on constitutional or other grounds. Thus, the only temporary injunction that then might have been granted would have been to enjoin the defendants from proceeding with their retainer of counsel to collaborate with the Town Attorney in counseling them on such matters. Injunctions pendente lite, should be sparingly issued. A clear legal right thereto, and irreparable damage from the non-issuance thereof must be present before such relief may be granted (Kane v. Walsh, 295 N. Y. 198, 205; Town of Southeast v. Gonnella, 26 A.D.2d 550; De Candido v. Young Stars, 10 A.D.2d 922; Flack v. Shelter Harbor Assn., 35 Misc. 2d 321). Under section 20 (subd. 2, par. [a]) of the Town Law, a Town Board is expressly authorized to engage special counsel to assist the town's attorney in litigation or other matters affecting the town. In the circumstances, plaintiffs demonstrated no clear legal right to an injunction pendente lite. Disposition Order affirmed, with $20 costs and disbursements.
