Civil Procedure, Negligence

ALTHOUGH DEFENDANTS MISSED THE DEADLINE AND THEREBY WAIVED THE RIGHT TO MEDICAL EXAMINATIONS OF PLAINTIFF, THE MOTION TO STRIKE THE NOTE OF ISSUE AND COMPEL AN EXAM SHOUD HAVE BEEN GRANTED (SECOND DEPT).

The Second Department, reversing Supreme Court, determined the defendants’ motion to strike the note of issue and certificate of readiness and compel a medical examination of plaintiff should have been granted. Although the defendants missed the agreed deadline for the exam, they had an adequate excuse and there was no prejudice:

Although a defendant waives the right to medical examinations of the plaintiff by failing to conduct them within the time period set forth in compliance conference orders … , “under certain circumstances and absent a showing of prejudice to the opposing party, the court may exercise its discretion to relieve a party of a waiver of the right to conduct a physical examination” … . Here, a scheduled medical examination of the plaintiff failed to happen due to a clerical error by the vendor that scheduled the examination. Consequently, the defendants did not have the opportunity to conduct an independent medical examination of the plaintiff. Further, no prejudice was shown by the plaintiff. Andujar v Boyle, 2021 NY Slip Op 00400, Second Dept 1-27-21
