Legal Malpractice
: New York Attorney Malpractice BlogGuardian's Attorney May not Be Sued in Legal Malpractice
By (Andrew Lavoott Bluestone)
This case discusses three important concepts in legal malpractice. Standing, immunity and proximate cause. Cangro v. Solimon 2008 Slip Op. 33345. holds that under Rule 1(h) of Part 36 of the Rules of the Chief Judge, a guardian ad litem's attorney requires judicial appointment, and is immune from suit, absent permission from the court. The same is true of trustees, referees and receivers.
Beyond this interesting tidbit, the case is worth reading for questions of proximate cause, emotional damages in legal malpractice and qualified immunity for attorneys in litigation.
