|
Overview: Trial court properly denied an agency's motion to dismiss a former employee's action alleging a violation of N.Y. Gen. Bus. Law § 349, as the employee's claim that the agency failed to properly investigate long-term disability claims by young claimants suffering from mental illness was sufficient to state a claim under the statute.

|
Overview: Undisputed northern easement gave grantees access to lake's "stone basin." The unambiguous deed, construed as matter of law, did not plainly and directly create a separate southern easement for the grantees to a lake's sandy shore over the grantors' land merely because that part of the easement clause referred to access to "the basin."

Overview: Manufacturer's affidavits in response to claims of laboratory worker that cover used with "clean room" shoes had come in contact with floor, causing her to trip, did not directly address the worker's claims, so summary judgment should not have been granted in its favor.
