The Court of Appeals construed the ambit of multiple New York State statutes and a section of the New York City Administrative Code in the torts arena during its 2019-2020 term. In Colon v. Martin, 35 N.Y.3d 75 (2020), the court applied its customary method of statutory construction to General Municipal Law Section 50-h to determine whether a claimant has a right to observe a co-claimant's testimony at a 50-h hearing.
