In a unanimous decision, the New York Court of Appeals has endorsed the legislative reform of the discovery law that was enacted in 2019 and first effective on Jan. 1, 2020. In People v. Bay, 2023 N.Y. Slip Op 06407 (2023), the court acknowledged the raison d'etre of the new law: that the People cannot be ready for trial without having fully complied with their discovery obligations.
