Civil Procedure, Evidence

​ THE CONDITIONAL PRECLUSION ORDER BECAME ABSOLUTE WHEN PLAINTIFF DID NOT COMPLY BY PROVIDING DEFENDANTS WITH MEDICAL AUTHORIZATIONS BY THE SPECIFIED DATE; BECAUSE PLAINTIFF OFFERED NO REASONABLE EXCUSE, PLAINTIFF SHOULD HAVE BEEN PRECLUDED FROM PRESENTING ANY MEDICAL EVIDENCE AT TRIAL (SECOND DEPT).

The Second Department, reversing (modifying) Supreme Court, determined the plaintiff should have precluded from presenting any medical evidence at trial because plaintiff failed to comply with the conditional order requiring plaintiff to provide defendants with medical authorizations by a specified date:

… [T]he plaintiff failed to comply with the conditional order by providing authorizations for the individuals and entities listed in the defendants’ supplemental demands for authorizations. …

… [T]he conditional order became absolute on February 14, 2020, and to be relieved from the adverse impact of the conditional order, the plaintiff was required to demonstrate a reasonable excuse for failing to comply with the conditional order and a potentially meritorious cause of action … . The plaintiff failed to proffer a reasonable excuse for failing to comply with the conditional order, and thus, we need not reach the issue of whether he demonstrated the existence of a potentially meritorious cause of action … . Since the plaintiff failed to make the requisite showing to be relieved from the adverse impact of the conditional order, the Supreme Court should not have imposed a limitation on the directive in the conditional order precluding the plaintiff from presenting at trial any medical evidence on the issue of damages … . Martin v Dormitory Auth. of the State of N.Y., 2022 NY Slip Op 04907, Second Dept 8-10-22

Practice Point: Here the preclusion order became absolute when plaintiff failed to provide medical authorizations to defendants by the specified date. Plaintiff had no excuse for the failure to comply. Therefore plaintiff should have been precluded from offering any medical evidence at trial.
