Synopsis
App Div 2nd affirms Supreme Court (Montelione, J.) denying tenants' motion to amend their complaint in this rent overcharge class action. Tenants sought to amend based on a change in the law, but the court holds that a change in law is grounds for a motion to renew, not amendment of the complaint. In any event, tenants' argument was "patently devoid of merit."
Keywords
