Ortega v. Otis Elevator Co.
Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York · Decided March 18, 1996
225 A.D.2d 678; 639 N.Y.2d 461; 639 N.Y.S.2d 461; 1996 N.Y. App. Div. LEXIS 2622
Ortega v. Otis Elevator Co.

Opinion of the Court

The Supreme Court improvidently exercised its discretion in denying the appellant’s request to compel the continuation of an examination before trial of witness Francis X. Bernard. Moreover, under the circumstances presented here, we find that the appellant is entitled to conduct one physical examination of the plaintiff by a doctor of its choice.

The appellant’s remaining contentions are without merit. Santucci, J. P., Altman, Krausman and Goldstein, JJ., concur.
