In Knapp, Jr. v. Shoemaker, 82 AD2d 15 [4th Dept 1981]) the court dismissed an action after retroactively applying a change in the law regarding quasi in rem jurisdiction. In that case, however, the court noted that the First Department had decided the issue to the contrary and, in any event, the defendant had asserted the affirmative defense of lack of personal jurisdiction broad enough to encompass an attack on quasi in rem jurisdiction.
