New York Supreme Court
Decided November 9, 1962PublishedCited by 3 opinions
1Opinion of the CourtEdward G. Baker, J.
In an action for libel and slander defendant moves for summary judgment on the basis that the said causes are outlawed by the Statute of Limitations. The alleged libel and slander occurred on April 1 and 2, 1958. The action herein was commenced on January 25, 1960. Ordinarily under these circumstances the action would be barred since it was brought later than the one-year period prescribed by subdivision 3 of .section 51 of the Civil Practice Act. However, upon consideration of all the facts it appears that plaintiff’s action is not barred.
