Publisher Description
This decision is a lesson and a warning for defense attorneys. It is also a case where the dissent is much more enlightening than the majority ruling. In this no fault suit, plaintiffs moved for summary judgment and defendant failed to submit opposition. Civil Court, Queens County, granted plaintiffs' motion on default, and plaintiffs entered judgment. Defendant moved to vacate the default judgment, and the Civil Court granted defendant's motion. This appeal by plaintiffs ensued, and the Appellate Term reversed.
