New York Skyline Inc. (Skyline) appealed a Bankruptcy Court judgment regarding a lease dispute with its landlord, ESB. The District Court, after vacating the initial judgment due to jurisdictional issues and remanding, is now reviewing the Bankruptcy Court's proposed findings as findings of fact and conclusions of law. The appeal centered on two provisions: the Electricity Provision concerning utility billing methodology and the Protocol Provision which restricted Skyline's employees from receiving commissions for sales near the Building. The District Court accepted the Bankruptcy Court's findings on the Electricity Provision, ruling in favor of ESB. However, the District Court rejected the Bankruptcy Court's interpretation of near the Building in the Protocol Provision, finding that ESB had not proven its broader definition and thus limiting the scope of any potential injunction against Skyline.
