Buran v. Coupal green

1998The Court of Appeals reasoned that the requirement “ ‘shifts the focus away from the primary question of whether the new party had actual notice of the claim’ ” (Buran v Coupal, supra, at 180 , quoting Virelli v Goodson-Todman Enters., 142 AD2d 479, 483 ), noting that the “ ‘linchpin’ ” of the relation back doctrine is “notice to the defendant within the applicable limitations period” (supra, at 180, citing Schiavone v Fortune, 477 US 21, 31).

An obviation of the need to satisfy the third prong of the Brock standard will not run afoul of the primary motivation underlying the limitations bar, which, as noted by the court in Connell v Hayden ( 83 AD2d 30 , supra), was designed to relieve defendants of the need to prepare a defense, as
