Read the official decision: 2026 NY Slip Op 06412
Holding The Appellate Division reversed the lower court’s order vacating a dismissal for failure to appear at a compliance conference because the plaintiff failed to provide a detailed and credible explanation for the default. The court found that the plaintiff’s claims of a medical condition and a calendaring error were unsupported by evidence or sufficient detail to constitute a reasonable excuse.
