Section 214 sets a three-year limitations period for the negligence claim.

5 AWNINGS PLUS, INC. v. MOSES INSURANCE GROUP, INC. · filed 2013-07-19

Thus, plaintiff’s negligence cause of action is barred by the three-year statute of limitations set forth in CPLR 214, and the court erred in denying that part of the motion to dismiss that cause of action (see generally Cappelli v Berkshire Life Ins. Co., 276 AD2d 458, 459).

Section 214(6) requires legal malpractice claims to be filed within three years, subject to tolling during an attorney’s continuous representation.

Red Zone LLC v. Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft LLP · filed 2013-08-27(6)

Legal malpractice claims generally must be filed within three years of the alleged malpractice. (CPLR 214 [6].) However, the statute of limitations is tolled through the duration of an attorney’s “continuous representation” of her client. (See Glamm v Allen, 57 NY2d 87, 93 [1982].) Unless the statute of limitations was tolled through the doctrine of continuous representation the claim must be dismissed as untimely.

Section 214(2) provides a three-year limitations period for NYSHRL claims, tolled while an EEOC charge is pending.

Russo v. New York Presbyterian Hospital · filed 2013-09-23(2)

Excluded from the three year statute of limitations are the 378 days, from September 16, 2008 to September 29, 2009, during which Plaintiffs EEOC charge was pending. Plaintiff may therefore assert any claim which accrued on or after November 24, 2005. NYSHRL and NYCHRL claims against Presbyterian Hospital and Queens Medical Center that accrued before November 24, 2005, are time-barred.

Section 214(3) requires a conversion action to be commenced within three years after the claim accrues.

Cusack v. Greenberg Traurig, LLP · filed 2013-09-26(3)

Plaintiffs conversion claim was triggered on July 9, 2008, when according to the complaint, defendant first refused to correct the defective opinion letter (see Vigilant Ins. Co. of Am. v Housing Auth. of City of El Paso, Tex., 87 NY2d 36, 44 [1995]). Plaintiff commenced this action on July 15, 2011, more than three years after the statute of limitations began to run (CPLR 214 [3]). Accordingly, the court properly dismissed that claim as time-barred.

Section 214(2) imposes a three-year limitations period on NYSHRL claims.

Holcombe v. US Airways Group, Inc. · filed 2013-09-30(2)

Plaintiffs NYSHRL claims are subject to a three-year statute of limitations. See Kassner v. 2nd, Avenue Delicatessen Inc., 496 F.3d 229, 238 (2d Cir.2007) (applying three-year statute of limitations to claims under the NYSHRL); N.Y. C.P.L.R. § 214(2). As indicated, the only improper conduct Plaintiff attributes to Holdren occurred in 2002. Similarly, most of the conduct Plaintiff attributes to Bove occurred in 2002, although she does imply that Bove improperly interfered with her ability to return to work until 2006. Plaintiff, however, did not assert any claims against Bove or Holdren until she filed her amended complaint on December 22, 2010. Thus, any claim based on conduct that occurred before December 22, 2007 is time-barred.

Section 214(5) requires negligence actions for personal injuries to be commenced within three years.

Marrero v. Nails · filed 2013-12-26(5)

As a general matter, an action to recover damages for personal injuries based on negligence is subject to a three-year statute of limitations (see CPLR 214 [5]; Santana v St. Vincent Catholic Med. Ctr. of N.Y., 65 AD3d 1119, 1119 [2009]). The plaintiff Digna Marrero allegedly slipped and fell, and consequently sustained injuries, on February 7, 2003. Accordingly, under ordinary circumstances, the time within which to commence an action to recover damages for negligence based on this incident would have expired on February 7, 2006.

Section 214(3) imposes a three-year statute of limitations on conversion claims.

In re HSBC Bank, USA, N.A., Debit Card Overdraft Fee Litigation · filed 2014-03-05(3)

“New York applies a three-year statute of limitations for conversion.” St. John’s Univ., New York v. Bolton, 757 F.Supp.2d 144, 179 (E.D.N.Y.2010), citing N.Y. C.P.L.R. § 214(3). HSBC asserts that any claim for conversion on behalf of Jura is untimely under C.P.L.R § 214(3) as the alleged overdraft fees occurred on August 6-7, 2008, more than three years prior to the filing of the amended consolidated class action complaint. The Plaintiffs counter that these dates are just examples of overdraft occurrences and that some overdrafts occurred after these dates. Alternatively, the Plaintiffs argue that the New York conversion claim was tolled under C.P.L.R. 205(a) by the state court action before Justice Bransten. On these assertions, the Court agrees with HSBC.

Lake v. New York Hosp. Med. Ctr. of Queens · filed 2014-07-23(2), (5)

Section 214 provides a three-year limitations period for the tortious interference and negligence claims addressed by the court.

HevRealtyUSA · filed 2014-10-23(4), (5)

With respect to the balance of plaintiff's claims against defendants, a review of the complaint reveals that the causes of action set forth therein sound in either intentional tort, tortious interference with business relations or negligence and, therefore, are governed by either a one- or three-year statute of limitations (see CPLR 214 [4], [5]; 215). As plaintiff's claims against defendants accrued no later than the date upon which defendants acquired title to the former marital residence (October 17, 2007), her action against defendants – commenced in November 2012 – clearly is time-barred.

Daimler Chrysler Insurance v. New York Central Mutual Fire Insurance · filed 2015-02-19(5)

Plaintiffs claim is also time-barred, because plaintiff is seeking common-law subrogation relief, and the statute of limitations on the underlying personal injury cause of action (three years) commenced to run as of the date of the accident (see General Construction Law § 20; Vigilant Ins.

Section 214 gives conversion claims three years from each act of conversion and gives breach-of-fiduciary-duty claims seeking only money damages three years.

Torrance Construction, Inc. v. Jaques · filed 2015-04-02(3), (4)

For conversion, a three-year statute of limitations applies and runs from the date that the conversion took place, not from discovery of the theft (see CPLR 214 [3]; Vigilant Ins. Co. of Am. v Housing Auth. of City of El Paso, Tex., 87 NY2d 36, 44 [1995]; Berman v Goldsmith, 141 AD2d 487, 487 [1988]). The statute of limitations runs separately from each separate act of conversion; a series of conversions against the same person or entity is not considered a single transaction for such purpose (see Stanley v Morgan Guar. Trust Co. of N.Y., 173 AD2d 390, 391 [1991]). ... The statute of limitations for breach of fiduciary duty differs depending on whether the substantive remedy sought is purely monetary – giving rise to the three-year period applicable to injuries to property (see CPLR 214 [4]) – or is equitable in nature – giving rise to a six-year period pursuant to CPLR 213 (1) (see IDT Corp. v Morgan Stanley Dean Witter & Co., 12 NY3d 132, 139 [2009]).

Section 214 provides a three-year limitations period for the breach of fiduciary duty and conversion claims arising from these unauthorized transfers.

Marcal Fin. SA v. Middlegate Sec. Ltd. · filed 2022-03-08(3), (4)

The breach of fiduciary duty claim should, however, have been dismissed as time-barred. This claim also accrued when the unauthorized transfers were made ( see generally IDT Corp. v Morgan Stanley Dean Witter & Co. , 12 NY3d 132, 140 [2009] ["A tort claim accrues . . . when all elements of the tort can be truthfully alleged"]), but the applicable statute of limitations is only three years ( see CPLR 214[4]; Kaufman v Cohen , 307 AD2d 113, 118 [1st Dept 2003]). The conversion claim should also have been dismissed as time-barred, as it also accrued when the unauthorized transfers were made ( see Vigilant Ins. Co. of Am. v Housing Auth. Of City of El Paso, Tex. , 87 NY2d 36, 44-45 [1995] [conversion claim accrues at time of conversion[*2]]) and was subject to a three-year limitations period ( see CPLR 214[3]; Vigilant at 44).
