The New York Court of Appeals continues to add to its considerable body of jurisprudence in civil practice. During its 2011-2012 term, the court handed down opinions in over a dozen cases that addressed some aspect of civil procedure. Given our space limitations, we have addressed only four of the more significant holdings below, with an emphasis on those points that are most relevant to everyday practice.
It is noteworthy that many of the court’s recent decisions on civil procedure include substantial dissents. We have noted them below, and discuss them when their points are helpful to an analysis of the majority’s holding. Our aim here is not to take sides, but rather to highlight the most important aspects of the court’s decisions.
