In Rae v. Marciano (— N.Y.S.3d —-, 2024 WL 1895957, 2024 N.Y. Slip Op. 02337 (2d Dept., 2024)), the plaintiff commenced an action for a divorce and served the defendant with the summons and complaint by email. After the defendant rejected the papers, the plaintiff made an oral application for the Supreme Court to authorize service by email nunc pro tunc, claiming, without proof, that the defendant had previously agreed to it. The Supreme Court denied the application and dismissed the action for lack of personal jurisdiction.
