The Court of Claims erroneously denied claimant’s request for the application for a nunc pro tunc order. “‘A judicial order may be obtained nunc pro tunc approving a previously agreed-upon settlement, even in cases where the approval is sought more than three months after the date of the settlement, provided that the petitioner can establish that (1) the amount of the settlement is reasonable, (2) the delay in applying for a judicial order of approval was not caused by the petitioner’s fault or neglect, and (3) the carrier was not prejudiced by the delay'” … . Amacio v State of New York, 2015 NY Slip Op 06298, 1st Dept 7-28-15
