The Town established, prima facie, that it did not receive prior written notice of the alleged condition, a prerequisite for maintaining an action against it arising from a snow or ice condition on its roadways (see Town Law § 65-a; Amabile v City of Buffalo, 93 NY2d 471, 474 [1999]; Brooks v Village of Babylon, 251 AD2d 526 [1998]; Sloan v Village of Hempstead, 223 AD2d 632 [1996]; see also CPLR 3212 [b]; Zuckerman v City of New York, 49 NY2d 557, 562 [1980]). While notice would not have been required if the Town created the condition though an affirmative act of negligence (see Amabile v City of Buffalo, supra at 474; Mayer v Town of Brookhaven, 266 AD2d 360, 361 [1999]), the evidence submitted by the plaintiff in opposition to the establishment of a prima facie case for summary judgment failed to raise a triable issue of fact as to whether the ice on which the plaintiffs vehicle allegedly slid and spun was formed when piles of snow created by the Town during a prior storm melted and refroze (cf. Grillo v Brooklyn Hosp., 280 AD2d 452 [2001]; Grizzaffi v Paparodero Holding Corp., 261 AD2d 437 [1999]; Roca v Gerardi, 243 AD2d 616 [1997]).Read the full opinion on CourtListener →

Moreover, even if plaintiff had ... been deemed to have met his prima facie burden, defendant's contention that she did not act with any fraudulent or wrongful intent and that she believed that, as a member of the company, she was fully authorized to make the disputed withdrawal gives rise to triable issues of fact barring summary judgment as to whether her conduct constituted "substantial misappropriation" providing grounds to terminate her employment (see RWI Acquisition LLC v Todd, 2012 Del Ch LEXIS 125, *28-29, 2012 WL 1955279, *7 [Del Ch May 30, 2012]; see generally CPLR 3212 [b]).Read the full opinion on CourtListener →

Section 3212(b) requires denial of summary judgment when a triable issue of fact arises, except as to damages; subsection (c) does not authorize a hearing to resolve disputed merits issues.
KNET, Inc. v. Ruocco · filed 2016-12-28(b), (c)
The Supreme Court erred in conducting a hearing. CPLR 3212 (c), which, on a motion for summary judgment, authorizes a trial of certain issues not related to the merits or related to damages, was not applicable here (cf.

Where, as here, a triable issue of fact (except as to damages) arises on a motion for summary judgment, the motion must be denied pursuant to CPLR 3212 (b) (see Stowell v Berstyn, 26 AD2d 828 [1966]).Read the full opinion on CourtListener →

Tam Med. Supply Corp. v. Hereford Ins. Co. · filed 2017-09-15
While defendant made a prima facie showing that it had not received the requested verification, the affidavit submitted by plaintiff in opposition to defendant's motion was sufficient to give rise to a presumption that the requested verification had been mailed to, and received by, defendant ( see St. Vincent's Hosp. of Richmond v Government Empls. Ins. Co. , 50 AD3d 1123 [2008]).
