Wednesday.
Damages will be determined later.
Jeffrey Goldman, an attorney for Trump, said the ruling was
mistaken, but ultimately little if any damages would be awarded.
The decision came in an ongoing lawsuit filed last year by New
York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman that accuses Trump of
misleading more than 5,000 people who paid between $1,495
and $35,000 to learn Trump's real estate investment techniques.
A trial still must be held to determine
whether Trump and the school defrauded students. The judge did toss out some claims and
ruled that some evidence was beyond the statute of limitations.
Damien LaVera, a spokesman for Schneiderman, called the decision "an important victory"
and said the office looks forward to proving the rest of the case at trial.
Goldman said "the heart of the attorney general's case has been eviscerated."
He said the judge ruled that the statute of limitations restricts claims to only the last six
months the school was in existence.
The university ceased operation in late 2010, Goldman said.
The lawsuit sparked a bitter reaction from Trump, who called Schneiderman a publicity
seeking "lightweight," attacked his "gross incompetence" and filed ethics complaints against
him.
The case is People v. Trump Entrepreneur Initiative, New York state Supreme Court, New
York County, No. 451463/2013.
