Opinion

February 23, 1989

Appeal from the Supreme Court, New York County (David Edwards, Jr., J.).

This complex commercial matter involves claims totaling more than $4.5 million. Accordingly, it was erroneous to transfer the action pursuant to CPLR 325 (d) to the Civil Court, a court of limited monetary jurisdiction, in a case where there is not the slightest suggestion that the damages sustained may be less than those demanded.

Concur — Sullivan, J.P., Asch, Milonas, Ellerin and Wallach, JJ.
