ABSENT A SHOWING OF GOOD CAUSE FOR THE DELAY, A MOTION TO SET ASIDE A VERDICT MADE MORE THAN 15 DAYS AFTER THE VERDICT WAS RENDERED SHOULD NOT BE GRANTED (SECOND DEPT).

The Second Department, reversing Supreme Court, determined the defendants’ motion to set aside the verdict as against the weight of the evidence should not have been granted because it was made more than 15 days after the jury verdict:

The Supreme Court should have denied the defendants’ motion pursuant to CPLR 4404(a) as untimely, as it was made more than 15 days after the jury verdict was rendered, without good cause shown for the delay … . Galarza v Heaney, 2022 NY Slip Op 02395, Second Dept 4-13-22

Practice Point: A motion to set aside a verdict made more than 15 days after the verdict was rendered, without a demonstration of good cause for the delay, should not be granted.
