On December 19, 2025, Governor Kathy Hochul signed the Avoiding Vexatious Overuse of Impleading to Delay (AVOID) Act into law, significantly reshaping third-party practice in New York State. Effective April 18, 2026, the Act imposes strict time limits on impleading third parties who may bear responsibility for all or some of the claims in a litigation, requiring defendants to identify and pursue potential third-party claims much earlier than previously required.
