The New York legislature is wary of people filing medical malpractice lawsuits and then delaying the resolution of their claims. As such, it drafted a statute that allows defendants to compel a plaintiff to move a case forward within 90 days, otherwise, it may be dismissed. Defendants cannot use the law to benefit from delays they caused, however, as discussed in a recent ruling<\/a> delivered in an OB-GYN malpractice matter.

It is alleged that in 2012, the plaintiff underwent a fertility procedure that was performed by the defendant. In April 2015, she commenced a medal malpractice lawsuit against the defendant. In September of that year, issue was joined, and the defendant served the plaintiff with a demand for a bill of particulars, a notice of deposition of the plaintiff at an agreed-upon date and time, and discovery requests.<\/p>\n

It is reported that the plaintiff did not respond. As such, in May 2017, the defendant served the plaintiff with a 90-day demand to file a note of issue. The parties\u2019 attorneys had several discussions regarding the scheduling of the plaintiff\u2019s deposition and set a date and time, but the defendant ultimately canceled the deposition. The plaintiff\u2019s attorney sent a letter to the defendant\u2019s attorney with a proposed scheduling order stating that a note of issue would be filed by December of 2017, but the defendant\u2019s attorney did not respond. The parties had no communication until April 2019, when the defendant filed a motion to dismiss. The trial court granted the motion, and the plaintiff appealed.
