THE MOTION TO AMEND THE COMPLAINT SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN DENIED ON THE GROUND THE PROPOSED CHANGES WERE NOT “REDLINED” (FIRST DEPT).

The First Department, reversing Supreme Court, determined the motion to amend the complaint should not have been denied on the ground the proposed changes were not “redlined” (apparently referring to the failure to mark the proposed changes to make them more visible):

The court improvidently exercised its discretion in denying plaintiff’s cross motion solely on the technical basis that the proposed amended complaint was not redlined (see CPLR 3025[b]), since the proposed amendments to add the third-party defendants as direct defendants were sufficiently described in the moving papers and easily discerned on review of the proposed amended summons and complaint … . Herrera v Highgate Hotels, L.P., 2023 NY Slip Op 00729, First Dept 2-9-23

Practice Point: Although CPLR 3025 (b) requires that “Any motion to amend or supplement pleadings shall be accompanied by the proposed amended or supplemental pleading clearly showing the changes or additions to be made to the pleading.” the motion to amend here should not have been denied because the proposed changes were not “redlined.” The accompanying papers sufficiently described the proposed changes.
