This section contains the nature of the case and procedural background.

P owned a building. P claims that D entered into an agreement to lease the building after P completed renovation of the building and made certain modifications on an expedited basis. D never signed a contract and never occupied the building. P sued D and plead three causes of action. The first was to enforce an oral lease for a term longer than one year. The second cause of action seeks to recover for the value of the work performed by P in reliance on the statements by and at the request of D. The third was that the parties contracted by exchanging promises and that P had performed. D moved to dismissed for failure to state a cause of action. The lower court denied the motion. The Appellate Division reversed. This appeal resulted.
