Practice point: The Appellate Division reversed the granting of the petition seeking to direct
respondents to create, file and issue a birth certificate for
petitioner's deceased grandfather, and dismissed the Article 78 proceeding.
Student note: New York City Health Code (24 RCNY) § 201.11(c) prohibits, among
other things, registering or issuing a delayed birth certificate for a
deceased person, and so there is no legal authority for granting the petition.
Case: Kraar v. New York City Dept. of Health, NY Slip Op 04246 (1st Dept. 2014)

Tomorrow's issue: Rear-end and chain collision accidents.
