McNeil v. Tomlin

In McNeil v. Tomlin (82 AD2d 825 [2d Dept 1981]) the Appellate Division ruled that the defendant-appellant was estopped from challenging service made to an address for the defendant-appellant, which was obtained from a search of the records of the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles. The Court reasoned that the appellant failed to inform the Commissioner of Motor Vehicles of a change of address, as required under Vehicle and Traffic Law 505 (5), and the defendant-appellant affirmatively misrepresented that the address of record was her current address when she renewed her license, even though she had since moved.
