TAM Med. Supply Corp. v 21st Century Ins. Co. (2017 NY Slip Op 51512(U))

Headnote

The court considered the fact that TAM Medical Supply Corp. was seeking to recover assigned first-party no-fault benefits, and that the defendant had filed a cross motion for summary judgment dismissing the complaint on the grounds that TAM had failed to appear for scheduled examinations under oath. The main issue decided was whether TAM had failed to comply with the requirement to appear for examinations under oath, and if so, whether this failure justified the dismissal of their complaint. The holding of the court was that the order granting the defendant's cross motion for summary judgment was affirmed, and the complaint was dismissed.
