People v.

Brown v. Stategreen2 sentences2005Eschewing a strict construction of the provision, the court held “the conflict may be avoided simply by allowing the remedy of section 10 (8) (a) to apply where a notice of intention was timely served on the Attorney General [without having been filed] and where all of the remaining statutory-prerequisites for relief thereunder have been met” (id. at 503). 13 Turning to the absence of the total sum claimed, the court observed: “the failure of the notice of intention to specify the amount of damages sought is not fatal to this application where the notice was otherwise sufficient to apprise the 2000The court notes that the failure of the notice of intention to specify the amount of damages sought is not fatal to this application where the notice was otherwise sufficient to apprise the State of the substance of the claim (see, Barski v State of New York, 43 AD2d 767, 768 ; McCabe v State of New York, 58 Misc 2d 823, 826 ; see also, Brown v State of New York, 250 AD2d 314, 319 ). | 2 | 2 |

As Judge Gabrielli in his concurring opinion in People v Tutt ( 38 NY2d 1011, 1013 , supra) pointed out: “It is sufficient that the preinterrogation admonitions mandated by Miranda be imparted in a manner sufficiently clear and comprehensible for the ordinary person to understand his rights (People v Swift, 32 AD2d 183, 187 , cert den 396 US 1018 * * *).” Moreover, the rule is well established that: 1977Words which convey the substance of the warning along with required information are sufficient” (United States v Vanterpool, 394 F2d 697, 698-699; see, also, United States v Lamia, 429 F2d 373, cert den 400 US 907 ; People v Tutt, supra, p 1013 ). | 2 | 2 |
Ashe v.

US Bank Natl. Assn. as Trustee v. Gutierrezgreen1 sentence2025Kimball's agreement to pay Kendall commissions for 2017 and 2018, after Kendall had settled with his children, did not constitute a ratification of the prior commission payments to Kendall as a matter of law, since different inferences may reasonably be drawn from Kimball's assent to the 2017 and 2018 payments ( see US Bank N.A. v Gutierrez , 136 AD3d 571, 571 [1st Dept 2016]). | 1 | 1 |
People v.

Lucas v.

Electrolux Corp. v. Val-Worth, Inc.green1 sentence2005Since the law of “unfair competition” stresses the element of unfairness rather than the element of competition and the term is generally applied to any form of unlawful business injury (see Electrolux Corp. v Val-Worth, Inc., 6 NY2d 556, 568 [1959]), the labeling of an action as “unfair business practices” rather than “unfair competition” does not change the substance of the claim. | 1 | 1 |

Solnick v. Whalen
green
2 sentences1992Rather, in determining the applicable limitations period for a declaratory judgment action, it is necessary to examine the substance of the claim "to identify the relationship out of which the claim arises” and to determine "the relief sought” (Solnick v Whalen, 49 NY2d 224, 229 ). 1984Because the substance of the claim underlying the declaratory judgment action at bar (see Solnick v Whalen, 49 NY2d 224, 229-230 ) arises out of sections 801 and 804 of the General Municipal Law, Special Term properly applied the three-year Statute of Limitations governing statutory causes of action (see CPLR 214, subd 2). | 3 | 1984–1992 |

Miranda v. Arizona

2 sentences2010CMiranda v Arizona, 384 US 436 [1966].) Officers need not recite the exact language set forth in Miranda v Arizona, so long as the substance of the warning adequately apprises defendant of the requisite information. 1977In Miranda v Arizona ( 384 US 436, 471 ) the Supreme Court stated "that an individual held for interrogation must be clearly informed that he has the right to consult with a lawyer and to have the lawyer with him during interrogation * * * As with the warnings of the right to remain silent and that anything stated can be used in evidence against him, this warning is an absolute prerequisite to interrogation.” Here, the admonitions given defendant by Hierholzer included the right to remain silent and "the right to an attorney at any time while in custody.” This latter warning was broad enough t | 2 | 1977–2010 |

Stettine v. County of Suffolk
green
2 sentences1994Indeed, the three-year limitation period of CPLR 214 (2) for statutory causes of action has been consistently applied to actions seeking equitable relief (see, Stettine v County of Suffolk, 105 AD2d 109, 113 , affd 66 NY2d 354 ["Because the substance of the claim underlying the declaratory judgment action at bar * * * arises out of sections 801 and 804 of the General Municipal Law, Special Term properly applied the three-year Statute of Limitations governing statutory causes of action”]; Sturgis v Sullivan County Harness Racing Assn., 98 AD2d 901 [three-year limitation period of CPLR 214 (2) a 1984If the period for invoking the other procedural vehicle for relief has expired before the institution of the action for declaratory relief, the latter action also is barred.” An examination of the substance of the claim underlying the declaratory judgment action at bar (see Stettine v County of Suffolk, 105 AD2d 109 ), discloses that the action or determination challenged by the plaintiff was reviewable pursuant to CPLR article 78 for which a specific time limitation (four months) is prescribed by CPLR 217. | 2 | 1984–1994 |

1 sentence2012Although County Court was of the view that defendant’s saliva could be a “dangerous instrument” within the meaning of Penal Law § 10.00 (13) 5 because it is a “substance,” we began our analysis in Owusu by recognizing that “a part of one’s body is not encompassed by the terms ‘article’ or ‘substance’ as used in the statute” ( 93 NY2d at 400-401 ). | 1 | 2012–2012 |
