Court of Appeals of New York
Windy Ridge Farm v. Assessor of the Town of Shandaken, 190 SSM 19
Dismissal of a civil action for failure to join necessary parties is affirmed where: 1) the expiration of a statute of limitations was not a jurisdictional defect preventing the summoning of the parties by the court, but rather an affirmative defense; and 2) the parties in question were therefore subject to the jurisdiction of the courts and the cause was subject to dismissal for failure to join them as necessary parties.
