THE CLIMATOLOGICAL DATA SUBMITTED BY DEFENDANT IN THIS ICE AND SNOW SLIP AND FALL CASE WAS NOT AUTHENTICATED; BECAUSE DEFENDANT DID NOT DEMONSTRATE THERE WAS A STORM IN PROGRESS AT THE TIME OF THE FALL, DEFENDANT’S MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN GRANTED (SECOND DEPT).

The Second Department, reversing Supreme Court, determined defendant’s motion for summary judgment in this ice and snow slip and fall case should not have been granted. The climatological data presented to show there was a storm in progress at the time of the fall was not authenticated, related to a different county, and conflicted with plaintiff’s testimony at the 50-h hearing:

… [T]he defendant failed to meet its initial burden as the movant. Contrary to the defendant’s contention, the three pages of climatological data that it submitted in support of its motion should have been authenticated because these pages themselves did not indicate that the data contained therein was “taken under the direction of the United States weather bureau” (CPLR 4528). In any event, the climatological data was gathered from a neighboring county, and it was inconsistent with the plaintiff’s testimony at a General Municipal Law § 50-h hearing that light snow fell about [*2]six hours prior to the accident. Under the circumstances, the defendant failed to establish, prima facie, that a storm was in progress at the time of the accident or that it did not have a reasonable opportunity after the cessation of the storm to remedy the alleged slippery condition … . Beaton v City of New York, 2021 NY Slip Op 04477, Second Dept 7-21-21
