Court: Supreme Court, Appellate Term, Second Department

Date published: Dec 3, 1963

41 Misc. 2d 601 (N.Y. App. Term 1963)

246 N.Y.S.2d 277

Opinion

December 3, 1963

Appeal from the Civil Court of the City of New York, Kings County, DANIEL G. CONNOLLY, J.

Stanley E. Gould for appellant.

Tropp Steinbock ( I. Sidney Worthman of counsel), for respondent.

Per Curiam.

Section 192 (subd. c, par. [2]) of the New York City Civil Court Act does not preclude consideration of a motion to increase the ad damnum clause above $3,000 on the merits, simply because the case was originally instituted in the Municipal Court and transferred automatically. ( Cohen v. Bezold, 37 Misc.2d 1081; Dolce v. Cayuga Foundation Corp., 38 Misc.2d 1078.)

The order should be reversed, without costs, and motion remanded for determination on the merits.

Concur — BROWN, GULOTTA and GROAT, JJ.

Order reversed, etc.
