FRIVOLOUS DEMAND FOR PUNITIVE DAMAGES IN PROPERTY-INJURY CASE WARRANTED AWARD PURSUANT TO CPLR 8303-a.

The Second Department determined the assertion of a frivolous claim for punitive damages in a property-injury case warranted the award of $10,000 to each defendant pursuant to CPLR 8303-a:

CPLR 8303-a provides, in pertinent part, that where, as here, a plaintiff has commenced a “frivolous” claim in an action to recover damages for injury to property, “the court shall award to the successful party, costs and reasonable attorney's fees not exceeding ten thousand dollars.” Baxter v Javier, 2016 NY Slip Op 04165, 2nd Dept 6-1-16
