Statute of limitations

Contact Chiropractic, P.C. v New York City Tr. Auth., 2016 NY Slip Op 00325 (2d Dept. 2016)

“The Appellate Term correctly determined that an action by an injured claimant, or his or her assignee, to recover first-party no-fault benefits from a defendant who is self-insured, is subject to a six-year statute of limitations, since the claim is essentially contractual, as opposed to statutory, in nature”

Congratulations to my friend Aaron J. Perretta on his victory here.  Given the brevity of the opinion, I am at a loss to understand why leave was granted to Appellant to hear this case,
