Benita N. Morales, Appellant v. County of Nassau, Respondent

Summary

The Court affirmed the Appellate Division's order granting a new trial, holding that the plaintiff’s failure to plead any statutory exemptions under CPLR article 16 barred review of those exemptions and that public policy favoring enforcement of orders of protection does not create a new exemption. The Court also dismissed the plaintiff’s motion to amend as academic.
