By court

975 Wash. Prop., LLC v Sanchez2026 NY Slip Op 51312[U]
June 26, 2026 · Landlord and Tenant and Housing
The court affirmed the judgment in favor of the landlord, holding that the tenant was not prejudiced by missing pages in the served notice of petition and that the trial court properly permitted an oral motion to conform pleadings to the proof. Additionally, the tenant’s rent overcharge claim was deemed untimely because the alleged increase occurred before the statute of limitations was extended and lacked sufficient indicia of fraud to trigger the lookback exception.
Merced v GEICO Ins. Agency, LLC2026 NY Slip Op 51311[U]
June 26, 2026 · Insurance
The court affirmed the dismissal of the complaint against the insurer because there is no privity of contract between the injured plaintiff and the tortfeasor’s insurer. Consequently, the plaintiff failed to state a cause of action as the statutory conditions for suing the insurer under Insurance Law § 3420 were not met.
