CPLR 214(2) provides a three-year limitations period for an action to recover upon a liability created or imposed by statute.

Doe v. Belmare · filed 2011-03-31(2)

This court agrees with plaintiff. Public Health Law article 27-F was enacted upon the recognition that “maximum confidentiality protection” for HIV related information was “an essential public health measure” and that “strong confidentiality protections can limit the risk of discrimination and the harm to an individual’s interest in privacy.” (L 1988, ch 584, § 1.) It provides that any person who discloses confidential HIV related information in violation of section 2782 shall be subject to a civil penalty, and that any person who willfully does so shall be guilty of a misdemeanor. These are characteristics of a claim based on statute, akin to a claim pursuant to the Executive Law for discrimination, and not a standard claim for personal injury. It is apparent to this court that Public Health Law article 27-F was enacted to protect a vulnerable class of individuals and in this regard, is dissimilar to a standard personal injury action to which Unconsolidated Laws § 7401 applies. Thus, the requirement of the Unconsolidated Laws for service of a notice of claim within a shortened statute of limitations does not apply to this action.
