Wider v. Heritage Maintenance, Inc

In Wider v. Heritage Maintenance, Inc., 14 Misc 3d 963, 966, 827 N.Y.S.2d 837 [Sup Ct, NY County 2007]) defendant's affirmation in support of its motion contained legal argument, but did not include legal citations or support for its arguments in the affirmation. Instead, it "provided an outline or summary of its legal arguments" (id.). In declining to strike the affirmation, the Court reasoned that "while not strictly in keeping with 22 NYCRR 202.8 (c), such a minor deviation does not justify striking motion papers" (id.).
