The 2026 Shift in New York Civil Practice

New York litigation has entered a new era with the AVOID Act (Avoiding Vexatious Overuse of Impleading to Delay), effective April 18, 2026. This law imposes a strict 60-day deadline for defendants to bring in third parties. Additionally, the revised CPLR 2106 now allows most written statements to be submitted as unsworn affirmations rather than notarized affidavits, streamlining the filing process for pro se litigants.
