Decana, Inc. v. J.D. Ross Int'l, Inc.

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, First Department

227 A.D.2d 208 (N.Y. App. Div. 1996)

Opinion

May 14, 1996

Appeal from the Supreme Court, New York County (Herman Cahn, J.).


The equitable relief sought by the plaintiff in Decana, Inc. v J.D. Ross Intl., Inc. (index No. 114142/95) is not within the jurisdiction of the Civil Court (Manhattan Parking Sys. — Serv. Corp. v. Murray House Owners Corp., 211 A.D.2d 534, 535; Doo Soon Chung v. Doo Nam Kim, 170 A.D.2d 232, 233) and declaratory relief sought therein is also unavailable in Civil Court (Green v Glenbriar Co., 131 A.D.2d 363). Consolidation of these actions is appropriate given the commonality of law and facts and the lack of prejudice to either party (Humiston v. Grose, 144 A.D.2d 907, 907-908).

Concur — Murphy, P.J., Wallach, Ross, Nardelli and Williams, JJ.
