Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York January 20, 1998 (Ruffolo v. Garbarini)

OPINION OF THE COURT

Sullivan, J. P.

The question on this appeal is whether plaintiffs legal malpractice claim is rendered time barred by a recent amendment to CPLR 214 (6), which applies a three-year Statute of Limitations to such malpractice claims,1 irrespective of the underlying legal theory.
