SVP Med Supply, Inc. v GEICO, 2022 NY Slip Op 50775(U)(App. Term 2d Dept. 2022)
“Defendant submitted the affirmation of an attorney who stated that she was in her firm’s office on the dates on which the EUOs were scheduled, that she would have either conducted the EUO herself or assigned another attorney to do so, and that plaintiff did not appear. She was not required to state that she was present in the [*2]office at any specific time on the scheduled dates“
I honestly dislike those affidavits. They read as a lazy person’s way to prove a no-show, and I tend to wonder if this practice or protocol really happens.
In the new virtual world, I think the no-show affidavits will be cleaner and more accurate.
