INSUFFICIENT EVIDENCE THAT THE FAILURE TO TURN OVER REQUESTED INVOICES IN DISCOVERY WAS WILLFUL AND CONTUMACIOUS, BUT PRESENTATION OF EVIDENCE ABOUT THE INVOICES AT TRIAL SHOULD HAVE BEEN PRECLUDED (SECOND DEPT).

The Second Department determined that requested invoices which were alleged not to exist could not be the subject of evidence at trial:

Durante’s affidavit demonstrated that the requested invoices of Croton could not be located and that the invoices of Iron Age were not in the respondents’ possession or control … . Under the circumstances of this case, there was no clear showing that the respondents’ failure to produce the invoices was willful and contumacious, since, inter alia, the respondents complied, albeit tardily, with the appellants’ discovery demands and demonstrated that the invoices requested could not be located, or were not in their possession or control (see CPLR 3101[d][2] … ). Nevertheless, the respondents should have been precluded from later offering evidence regarding the requested invoices of Croton that were not produced … . Accordingly, that branch of the appellants’ motion which was to preclude the respondents from introducing at trial evidence of the requested invoices of Croton that were not provided should have been granted. Cap Rents Supply, LLC v Durante, 2018 NY Slip Op 08458, Second Dept 12-12-18
