Tonight, 3/28/16, Andrew M. Lieb will be instructing a CLE, Top 10 Real Estate Laws of 2015, based upon the article of the same title.

The event is sponsored by First American at the Omni Building in Uniondale.

The Court of Appeals in Beltz v. City of Yonkers effectively established the Trivial Defect Doctrine in 1895, a staple in the modern defense attorney’s playbook. Therein, the court recognized that no walkway could be kept so perfectly safe so as to preclude the possibility of an accident and accordingly held that “when … the defect is so slight that no careful or prudent man would reasonably anticipate any danger from its existence … the question of defendant’s responsibility is one of law.” Perhaps shocking to a modern practitioner, the Beltz court found that a two and a half inch deep, 26 inch long and seven inch wide depression in a sidewalk was not an actionable defect. Ever since, New York courts have struggled to define when a defect in a walkway is actionable.

FINALLY A FAIR HOUSING CLASS THAT IS ENTERTAINING!!!
