Lawyers representing the estate of the late copper heiress Huguette Clark have appealed a ruling that let Beth Israel Hospital out of a $95 million lawsuit.
A lower court excused the hospital — where the heiress lived for the last 20 years of her life while Beth Israel officials hit her up for cash and even a Manet painting — from the case, citing the statute of limitations.
But the estate’s attorneys have told Manhattan Surrogate Court that the judge erred on the law. The hospital’s general counsel did not return a message seeking comment.
Clark died at 104 in 2011.
