"New York", United States of America
The following excerpt is from Ruberto v. DeFilippo, 29 Misc.3d 1236, 913 N.Y.S.2d 889 (N.Y. Civ. Ct. 2010):
Previously, this court has dealt with the defendant's contention that a former client was suing the wrong entity and it rejected that contention ( Spina v. DeFilippo, 27 Misc.3d 1225(A), 2010 WL 2026026). The court is incorporating that reasoning into this decision as well and rejecting that defense.
