The following excerpt is from Riviera Congress Associates v. Yassky, 18 N.Y.2d 540, 223 N.E.2d 876, 277 N.Y.S.2d 386 (N.Y. 1966):
This litigation, like Lichtyger v. Franchard Corp., 18 N.Y.2d 528, 277 N.Y.S.2d 377, 223 N.E.2d 869, also decided today, raises the question whether some of the limited partners of a partnership comprising a real estate syndicate have the capacity to bring a representative cause of action--either on behalf of the other limited partners or on behalf of the partnership--and, if they do, whether they are entitled to summary judgment.
