Supreme Court, New York County recently addressed in Fraser v. 301-52 Townhouse Corp. the admissibility of a plaintiffs' expert testimony within a mold exposure context. Justice Kornreich precluded the plaintiffs' expert regarding his opinions as to the conclusion that human health has been adversely affected by inhaled mycotoxins in the home, school, or office environment. The decision includes excerpts of several studies and doctor's opinions on mold exposure that a practitioner might find useful in his or her practice.

Just had a case in Family Court - one party wanted custody based on the existence of "hazardous" mold in the home....researched it myself and came to the same conclusion as the Court in the above case- NO reliable, acceptable scientific evidence that mold is hazardous. The Family Court dismissed the petition for custody on my motion.
