Settlement of Actions by or on Behalf of Infants or Incompetents,

E.D.N.Y. Local Civil Rule 83.2

Wrongful Death Actions, and Actions for Conscious Pain and Suffering of the Decedent PRE-2024 COMMITTEE NOTE The Committee believes that paragraph (b) of this Local Civil Rule should logically apply to actions for conscious pain and suffering of the decedent as well as to wrongful death actions and therefore recommends that the present distinction between the Southern and Eastern District versions of the Local Rule in this regard be eliminated.
