A judge last week refused to accept and sign “crispy, water-damaged papers” from a small Brooklyn firm that had been caught, like many solos and small firms, in Hurricane Sandy.
Brooklyn Supreme Court Justice Debra Silber (See Profile) said in her response to an order to show cause for pre-action discovery from Bukh & Associates in Sheepshead Bay that she recognized the firm’s “significant hardship” from the storm, and the court had made “every effort” to grant the “indulgence” that the firm sought. But the judge noted that the papers “are difficult to read, and some passages are impossible to read.”
