Court of Appeals of New York

Dismissal of an action seeking to set aside and cancel, as null and void, defendant-bank's mortgage interest in real property conveyed on the authority of a forged deed, is reversed where the statute of limitations set forth in CPLR 213 (8) does not foreclose plaintiff's claim against defendant because any encumbrance upon real property based on a forged deed is null and void.
