FAILED TO SHOW WHEN DRIVEWAY WAS LAST CLEANED AND INSPECTED
When JV slipped and fell on some ice that was allegedly on the defendants’ driveway, he filed a case in the New York County Supreme Court.
And when the defendants’ request to have the case decided in their favor – via motion for summary judgment – was denied, an appeal ensued.
On its review of the record, the Appellate Division, First Department, concluded that the defendants hadn’t demonstrated an entitlement to relief since they failed to show when the driveway was last cleaned or inspected and “whether the ice on the driveway had been there long enough for them to discover and remedy the situation.”
They clearly got an icy reception there.
