Successive Summary Judgment Motions OK Based On Evidence Learned in Discovery

The Third Department noted that successive summary judgment motions are allowed where discovery turns up new evidence.  In this case summary judgment was granted to the defendants who were struck by plaintiff’s decedent’s vehicle which had crossed over into on-coming traffic:

Although successive summary judgment motions are generally discouraged absent “‘a showing of newly discovered evidence or other sufficient cause'” …, where, as here, evidence produced from additional discovery places the motion court “in a far better position to determine” a legally dispositive issue, the court should not be precluded from exercising its discretion to consider the merits of a subsequent motion … . Foster v Kelly, 2014 NY Slip Op 05472, 3rd Dept 7-24-14
