M&W Case Alert – In Case Handled by Bill Bloom, Appellate Division Reiterates Affidavit of Merit Deadline, Upholds Claims Against Professional Defendant
In Yagnik v. Premium Outlet – a case handled by Bill Bloom of M&W – the Appellate Division ruled that the filing of an Amended Complaint does not reset the clock to serve an affidavit of merit against a professional defendant. However, the court held that extraordinary circumstances existed which warranted relaxing the rule and allowing the malpractice claim to go forward.
