CompFox AI Summary
This case involves coordinated actions initiated by the State of New York Workers’ Compensation Board (WCB) against various entities, including Compensation Risk Managers, LLC (CRM), UHY, LLP, and HITNY trustees, stemming from issues with group self-insured trusts (GSITs). The WCB moved to amend its complaints to allege claims for implied indemnification against the HITNY trustees and UHY. The court, presided over by Richard M. Platkin, J., reviewed these proposed amendments, particularly in light of prior Third Department precedent in Madden. The court granted the WCB's motion to amend the complaint in the CRM action against HITNY trustees. However, the motion to amend the complaint in the UHY action for implied indemnification was largely denied, as was the claim against UHY in the HITNY member action, finding the proposed claims against UHY to be lacking in merit due to the absence of a shared duty with the WCB.
