NEW RULES ON AFFIRMATION ON OTHER COURT DOCUMENTS

Governor Hochul signed Senate Bill S8195 which amended CPLR Rule 2106.  This amendment is effective immediately and expands the use of affirmations in lieu of sworn affidavits. In addition to allowing us to substitute an affirmation for an affidavit in our motions, this provision now expressly applies to “a certificate, a response to a notice to admit, an answer to interrogatories, a verification of a pleading, a bill of particulars and any other sworn statement."
