Shasha v. Malkin: Date Argued: January 30th, 2026; Docket Number: 25-442

Case Summary: Shasha v. Malkin is a long‑running business‑dispute case between members of the Shasha family and Peter L. Malkin (and related entities), which has produced both New York state‑court proceedings and federal litigation, and is now on appeal in the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit under docket number 25‑442, where it was argued on January 30, 2026.At the lower‑court level, New York Appellate Division records and related federal filings show that: Virginia Shasha and affiliated Shasha parties alleged that Malkin and his affiliates breached duties and mishandled interests arising from business and trust arrangements, including disputes over control, management, and benefits related to investment or real‑estate–related holdings, and they sought relief in New York Supreme Court (Commercial Division) and in related proceedings.In those New York proceedings, the courts addressed issues such as whether the Shasha parties had adequately stated claims for breach of fiduciary duty and related causes of action, the effect of prior arbitration or federal actions between the same parties (including Malkin v. Shasha in the Southern District of New York), and whether certain claims were barred or limited by earlier rulings or agreements.The present federal appeal, docketed as Shasha v. Malkin, No. 25‑442 (2d Cir.), reflects that the Shasha side is now challenging an adverse federal judgment or order involving Malkin in the Second Circuit.
