Contact Chiropractic, P.C. v New York City Tr. Auth., 2013 NY Slip Op 23410 (App. Term 2d Dept. 2013)http://nofault.lisquared.com/wp-admin/post-new.php
“Defendant contended therein that, since it does not maintain an insurance [*2]policy, its obligation to provide no-fault benefits is statutorily imposed (Insurance Law § 5103; see Insurance Department Regulations [11 NYCRR] § 65-2.1) and governed by CPLR 214 (2), which imposes a three-year statute of limitations. In opposition to the motion, plaintiff asserted that a six-year statute of limitations, as set forth in CPLR 213 (2), applied, citing Matter of ELRAC Inc. v Suero (38 AD3d 544 [2d Dept 2007]). Defendant replied that the recent First Department holding in M.N. Dental Diagnostics, P.C. v New York City Tr. Auth. (82 AD3d 409 [2011]) required the imposition of a three-year statute of limitations (see also Richard Denise M.D. P.C. v New York City Tr. Auth., 96 AD3d 561 [1st Dept 2012]).”
So it appears that the Appellate Term followed the Second Department precedent as opposed to more recent First Department precedent. This would be proper. Mountainview Coach Lines v Storms, 102 AD2d 663, 664-665 (2d Dept 1984)
