Sallie Massie v. David B. Crawford, Jr.

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals reversed the Appellate Division, granting the defendant's motion for partial summary judgment and holding that the plaintiff's malpractice claims are barred by the two‑year‑and‑six‑month statute of limitations because the continuous treatment exception does not apply to routine gynecologic examinations. Justice Hancock, Jr. dissented, arguing that the visits were part of continuous treatment and should be tried.
