The Woodbury Heights Estates Water Co., Inc. filed the law suit against the village.
The company’s owner, Zigmond Brach had sold property in the village months after the law was adopted so that Kiryas Joel could build a water tower to provide its residents with potable water.
The Village of Woodbury sought to block that maintaining Brach did not obtain subdivision approval.
Supreme Court Justice Elaine Slobod ruled in favor of Brach contending Woodbury could not indirectly affect KJ’s property rights by seeking an order compelling Brach to rescind the deed.
