Original Court Document: View Document
In the case of Signal Perfection, Ltd. v. Litespeed Electric, Inc., the Appellate Division, First Department, reversed a Supreme Court order that had denied Litespeed Electric's motion for leave to file a late notice of settlement regarding a proposed judgment. The court found that Litespeed demonstrated good cause for the delay, which was attributed to misleading information provided by prior counsel about the status of the case. The court referenced prior case law to support its ruling and noted that Litespeed had diligently pursued its rights by arbitrating the dispute and opposing attempts to vacate the arbitration award. Ultimately, the court mandated the entry of judgment confirming the arbitration award, concluding that Litespeed did not intend to abandon the action. The decision was entered on May 18, 2017.
