Under CPLR 3212, summary judgment should be denied when a triable factual issue is arguable or debatable.
International Customs Associates, Inc. v. Bristol-Myers Squibb Co. · filed 1996-11-14
Summary judgment is a drastic remedy and should not be granted where there is any doubt as to the existence of a triable issue of fact (Rotuba Extruders v Ceppos, 46 NY2d 223, 231) or where the factual issue is arguable or debatable (Sill-man v Twentieth Century-Fox Film Corp., 3 NY2d 395, 404). Upon our review of the record, we find that factual triable issues exist regarding, inter alia, whether the services performed by the plaintiff constituted the practice of law in this State as defined by Judiciary Law § 478 so as to preclude, as a matter of law, plaintiff’s claims for compensation pursuant to the parties’ contract.Read the full opinion on CourtListener →

Summary judgment under CPLR 3212 is improper when a factual question remains about whether a continuous professional relationship tolled the limitations period.
Fred Smith Plumbing and Heating Co. v. Christensen · filed 1996-11-19
Order, Supreme Court, New York County (Elliott Wilk, J.), entered May 7, 1996, which granted defendants’ motion pursuant to CPLR 3212 for partial summary judgment dismissing the first, second, fourth and fifth causes of action of plaintiff’s complaint, unanimously reversed, on the law, without costs, and defendants’ motion is denied and said cause of action reinstated. ... Upon our review of the record as developed thus far, we find that, at the very least, questions of fact exist as to whether the services rendered to plaintiff by defendant, which formed the basis of the dismissed causes of action, constituted a continuous relationship which ended with plaintiff’s discharge of defendants (compare, Hall & Co. v Steiner & Mondore, supra, and Zwecker v Kulberg, 209 AD2d 514, 515 [continuous representation rule applied to repeated use of the same improper deduction in successive tax returns to find malpractice claim timely brought]).Read the full opinion on CourtListener →
