PARTIES HAD CONSENTED TO PROCEDURES WHICH DEVIATED FROM THE CPLR, SUMMARY JUDGMENT MOTIONS, ALTHOUGH UNTIMELY UNDER THE CPLR, SHOULD HAVE BEEN DEEMED TIMELY (FIRST DEPT).

The First Department, reversing Supreme Court, noted that the parties, through stipulations, had consented to procedures which deviated from the CPLR. Therefore the summary judgment motions, although untimely under the CPLR, should have been deemed timely:

Prior court orders and stipulations between the parties show that the parties, with the court’s consent, charted a procedural course that deviated from the path established by the CPLR and allowed for defendants’ filing of this round of summary judgment motions more than 120 days after the filing of the note of issue … . Thus, the motions were timely, and we remand the matter to the motion court for a full consideration of their merits … . Reeps v BMW of N. Am., LLC, 2018 NY Slip Op 02907, First Dept 4-26-18
