BILL NUMBER:S6125
Title of bill
An act to amend the civil practice law and rules, in relation to motions for summary judgment in lieu of complaint; and to repeal section 3213 of such law relating thereto
Purpose
This bill relates to motions for summary judgment in lieu of complaint for certain causes of action.
Summary of provisions
Section 1 - Section 3213 of the civil practice law and rules is repealed and a new section 3213 is added.
Section 2 - Effective date.
Justification
Current law enables certain cases which have no substantive defense to languish. This legislation would shorten the judicial process for those cases and help to reduce court dockets by enabling plaintiff, in certain actions, to serve a motion for summary judgment with supporting papers at the time the summons is served.
