DEFENDANTS PRESENTED NO EVIDENCE OF SNOW REMOVAL EFFORTS OR LACK OF CONSTRUCTIVE NOTICE IN THIS ICE-ON-SIDEWALK SLIP AND FALL CASE; DEFENDANTS’ MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN GRANTED (FIRST DEPT).

The First Department, reversing (modifying) Supreme Court, determined defendants’ motion for summary judgment in the ice-on-sidewalk slip and fall case should not have been granted:

[Defendants] failed to sustain their initial burden of demonstrating that they neither created nor had actual or constructive knowledge of the icy condition of the sidewalk … . Neither presented evidence concerning snow removal immediately prior to plaintiff’s accident and/or their lack of notice of the condition … . Burton v Khedouri Ezair Corp., 2019 NY Slip Op 09379, First Dept 12-26-19
