PLAINTIFF’S DEPOSITION TESTIMONY, SUBMITTED BY THE DEFENDANT IN SUPPORT OF DEFENDANT’S MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT IN THIS STAIRWAY SLIP AND FALL CASE, CONFLICTED WITH THE DEFENDANT’S EVIDENCE, SUMMARY JUDGMENT WAS NECESSARILY DENIED WITHOUT REFERENCE TO THE OPPOSING PAPERS (SECOND DEPT).

The Second Department determined defendant property owner’s motion for summary judgment in this stairway slip and fall case was properly denied. There was a conflict between the plaintiff’s description of the defect and the area where she fell (included in the deposition testimony submitted by the defendant) and the defendant’s evidence of the location of the defect:

In moving for summary judgment, the defendant was obligated to come forward with evidence establishing its prima facie entitlement to judgment as a matter of law by eliminating all material issues of fact as to its potential liability… . However, in view of the conflicting accounts submitted by the defendant as to the location of the defect which allegedly caused the plaintiff’s fall, the defendant failed to sustain its prima facie burden on the motion. Accordingly, denial of the motion was required, without regard to the adequacy of the plaintiff’s submissions in opposition … . Tavarez v Pistilli Assoc.
