"Mr. Dyki misrepresents Chief Judge Rowan Wilson's warning about family and housing courts being stretched beyond capacity to suggest that delays in those courts deny justice to accident victims seeking restitution."
"The Family Court hears only matters assigned to it by statute, including custody and visitation, child support, family offenses, abuse/neglect, juvenile delinquency, and adoption."
"The Housing Court hears only landlord-tenant and housing-related cases, including nonpayment proceedings, holdover proceedings, repairs/HP actions, illegal lockouts, and code enforcement matters."
"The only overlap of these courts is practical, not legal; the same families often have cases in both courts, and their overlap has no bearing on the claims of personal injury victims."
Auto liability reforms proposed by Steven R. Dyki are misinformed and do not address the issues in New York's family and housing courts. These courts have limited jurisdiction and do not hear personal injury claims. The Family Court deals with matters like custody and child support, while the Housing Court focuses on landlord-tenant disputes. The overlap between these courts is practical, not legal, and does not affect personal injury cases. Delays caused by the defense bar hinder victims from receiving fair compensation for their injuries.
