How later courts describe this case

  • relying upon Durrett to determine whether nonjudicial foreclosure sale constituted “transfer” within meaning of Act
  • reserving a ruling on whether a transfer for 21% of the equity is for reasonably equivalent value
  • finding Miranda warning insufficient where suspect was not advised that "right to counsel encompassed the right to have counsel present during any questioning,” but admitting statement as harmless error
  • suspect arrested in hotel hallway wearing a bathing suit and returned to his room
  • interim report issued by staff of New York City Urban Mass Transit Administration is inadmissible because it includes only “tentative results of an incomplete staff investigation”
  • delivery of ten subway cars for inspection and testing does not constitute tender of delivery so as to begin the running of the statute of limitations on claims
  • evidence that has special aura of infallibility properly excluded under Rule 403
  • although an injured buyer is under a duty to mitigate damages, the burden is on the breaching seller to show that its alternative option “was a viable means of reducing damages”
