New York Court of Appeals
Kathryn Young, Respondent v. New York City Health & Hospitals Corporation, Appellants
February 17, 199891 N.Y.2d 291
Summary
The New York Court of Appeals held that the continuous treatment doctrine does not toll the 90‑day notice‑of‑claim period for the plaintiff’s malpractice claims that accrued before November 17, 1990, because the plaintiff was unaware of the need for further treatment. Accordingly, the Court reversed the Appellate Division and reinstated the Supreme Court’s dismissal of those claims.
