MASSELLA v. PARTNER INDUSTRIAL PROD

Supreme Court erred in granting third-party defendant's motion for summary judgment dismissing the third-party complaints. The 1996 amendment to Workers' Compensation Law § 11 ( see, L 1996, ch 635, § 2) does not apply retroactively to bar the third-party action ( see, Matie v. Sealed Air Corp., 242 A.D.2d 863 [decided herewith]; Majewski v. Broadalbin-Perth Cent. School Dist., 231 A.D.2d 102; Morales v. Gross, 230 A.D.2d 7).
