Hi Edward,
I know you always welcome comments regarding the NYLJ. First I would like
to say that your updates and notices to law-lib are wonderful, keep up the
good work. My comment today concerns the oversight of what I believe is an
important piece of information. Law 1997, C. 492 (S-3863B) amended CPLR
3212, timeliness in judgment motions. There have been two very recent
Appellate Court decisions, one from the 1st department and one from the 3rd
department. Both departments reached basically the same decision concerning
the retroactivity of the new amendment. The NYLJ did run printed articles
on 12/19/97, 12/22/97, and 12/26/97. The articles all discussed and
reported the 1st department decision, only the 12/26/97 article mentioned
the equally important 3rd department case. I might add the mention was ever
so slight, not even giving the case name. Another aspect was the fact that
the web or online version of the NYLJ did not even mention either of these
vital New York cases. How come? This is a good example or lesson, that
the NET is not all inclusive as some think.
Regards,
Eric
