Court: Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, First Department

Date published: Mar 9, 1993

191 A.D.2d 224 (N.Y. App. Div. 1993)

595 N.Y.S.2d 678

Opinion

March 9, 1993

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Bronx County (Barry Salman, J.).

The requirements of CPLR 305 (b) were complied with in the instant case. While the words "personal injury" may not apprise the defendants of the precise legal theory behind plaintiff's case, they adequately apprise defendants of the "nature of the action" at this stage of the litigation (cf., Drummer v. Valeron Corp., 154 A.D.2d 897, lv denied 75 N.Y.2d 705).

Concur — Murphy, P.J., Sullivan, Rosenberger, Asch and Rubin, JJ.
