CompFox AI Summary
The plaintiff brought a legal malpractice action against her former attorneys, Gramer & Melbardis, for failing to timely file a personal injury lawsuit against F&F Realty Co. The Supreme Court denied both the defendants' motion for summary judgment to dismiss the complaint and the plaintiff's cross-motion for partial summary judgment on liability. On appeal, the court affirmed the denial of summary judgment on liability, citing factual disputes regarding F&F Realty Co.'s negligence. However, the appellate court modified the order by granting the plaintiff's cross-motion to dismiss several of the defendants' affirmative defenses, including lack of privity, speculative claims, and the assertion that Workers' Compensation Law barred an action against F&F Realty Co. These affirmative defenses were found to be without merit, leading to their dismissal.
