ESSENTIAL EVIDENCE SUBMITTED IN REPLY PAPERS PROPERLY CONSIDERED BECAUSE A SURREPLY WAS ALLOWED (FIRST DEPT).

The First Department noted that essential evidence in reply papers was properly considered by the court because a surreply was allowed:

 … [T]o support amending a personal injury complaint to add a cause of action for wrongful death, plaintiffs were required to submit “competent medical proof of the causal connection between the alleged malpractice and the death of the original plaintiff” … . The affirmation of plaintiffs’ expert, which stated that to a reasonable degree of medical certainty the decedent’s injury led to his death, was sufficient, for the purposes of CPLR 3025(b), to establish a causal connection between the decedent’s death and the originally alleged negligence by defendants … . Plaintiff’s submission of the expert’s affirmation on reply is not fatal to the motion, because defendant was permitted to submit a surreply. Frangiadakis v 51 W. 81st St. Corp., 2018 NY Slip Op 03331, First Dept 5-8-18
