  1. Currie v. Wilhouski

    37 Misc. 3d 1207 (N.Y. Sup. Ct. 2011)   Cited 1 times

    On summary judgment, the “bare affirmation” of an attorney, which is not based upon personal knowledge of the facts, is “without evidentiary value.” ( See Zuckerman v. City of New York, 49 N.Y.2d 557, 563, 427 N.Y.S.2d 595, 404 N.E.2d 718 [1980];Feratovic v. Lun Wah, Inc., 284 A.D.2d 368, 368–69, 725 N.Y.S.2d 892 [2d Dept.2001].) The “information and belief” of the attorney adds nothing ( see Henriquez v. Purins, 245 A.D.2d 337, 338, 666 N.Y.S.2d 190 [2d Dept.1997]; Wood v. Nourse, 124 A.D.2d 1020, 1021, 509 N.Y.S.2d 223 [4th Dept.1986] ), even when based upon the attorney's review of the client's file ( see Park Health Center v. Green Bus Lines Inc., 2002 N.Y. Slip Op 40029 [U], 2002 WL 416484 [App. Term 2nd & 11th Jud. Dists.; Building Management Co., Inc. v. Vision Quest of Flatbush, 1 Misc.3d 681] ).
