MOTION FOR LEAVE TO AMEND THE COMPLAINT SHOULD HAVE BEEN GRANTED, CRITERIA EXPLAINED (THIRD DEPT).

The Third Department determined a motion for leave to amend the complaint should have been granted and explained the criteria:

CPLR 3025 (b) provides generally that leave to amend a pleading “shall be freely given.” “[T]he rule on a motion for leave to amend a pleading is that the movant need not establish the merits of the proposed amendment and, ‘[i]n the absence of prejudice or surprise resulting directly from the delay in seeking leave, such applications are to be freely granted unless the proposed amendment is palpably insufficient or patently devoid of merit'” … . Here, the proposed amendment does not change the theory of recovery, but seeks to further develop facts supporting plaintiff’s second cause of action for breach of contract. In addition, plaintiff did not delay in seeking the amendment and, given that the amendment is confined to matters that were in the original complaint, there is no prejudice to defendant … . In view of the foregoing, leave to amend the complaint should have been granted. Gulfstream Anesthesia Consultants, P.A. v Cortland Regional Med.
