Trump Narrowly Avoids Sanctions in Railyards Case

March 31, 2010

Donald Trump dodged sanctions by a New York judge who on Monday dismissed the mogul's fiduciary fraud claims against the buyers of part of a 77-acre development in Manhattan. As for defendants' motion for sanctions, the judge found that Trump's service of multiple complaints was not undertaken "primarily" to delay or harass, adding: "Plaintiff has here narrowly avoided the imposition of costs or sanctions. Continued prosecution of claims without basis and attacks upon persons will place Plaintiff beyond this point."
