Committee Reports

Report on legislation providing time frames within which service by mailing must be made both within and without the state

Date

May 31, 2015

SUMMARY

The State Courts of Superior Jurisdiction Committee expressed support for State legislation which would amend CPLR 2103 to permit service upon an attorney from outside the state by regular mail. Previously, CPLR 2103(b)(6) permitted service upon an attorney by overnight delivery and the Committee notes that it does not perceive any legal or practical distinction between service by overnight mail and service by regular delivery, and therefore service by overnight delivery should be permissible.
