THE FACT THAT DEFENDANT’S REPRESENTATIVE’S SIGNATURE AND THE JURAT APPEARED ON AN OTHERWISE BLANK PAGE SEPARATE FROM THE AFFIDAVIT WAS NOT A GROUND FOR DENIAL OF DEFENDANT’S UNOPPOSED MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT (SECOND DEPT).

The Second Department, reversing Supreme Court, determined defendant’s unopposed motion for summary judgment should not have been denied on the ground that defendant’s representative’s signature and the jurat appeared on a page separate from the rest of defendant’s affidavit:

The Supreme Court denied the motion on the ground that, in an affidavit of Charles Dunne, an authorized representative of the defendant, on which the defendant primarily relied in support of its motion, Dunne’s signature and the jurat appeared on a separate, otherwise blank page. The defendant appeals.

The Supreme Court erred in denying the defendant’s unopposed motion on the ground that Dunne’s affidavit was not properly signed. The fact that Dunne’s signature and the jurat appeared on a page separate from the rest of the affidavit did not render it inadmissible. If anything, the separate signature page amounted to an irregularity that the court should have disregarded, as doing so did not prejudice the plaintiff (see CPLR 2001…), which was deemed to have waived the issue by failing to timely raise it after service of the defendant’s motion papers … . Status Gen.
