Richard Fromewick Authors, "Nassau Real Estate Tax ASIE Penalty"

Meyer Suozzi, along with several other law firms, won a further extension of the temporary restraining order preventing Nassau County from collecting the penalties. The County is asking for a guarantee of payment, undertaking (bond) until the issues are finally decided. That hearing will be held on April 20. 2017. The court is considering appointing a special master/referee to conduct hearings and determine the penalties, if any.

It is important to complete any ASIE information requests to prevent new penalties from being imposed. It does not appear, from my perspective, that the ASIE requests are illegal or unconstitutional; however, I believe the current method of enforcing penalties is illegal and unconstitutional.
