Summary
In Herbert v Jerome, 14 Misc 3d 141 (A), (2007), the Appellate Term held that seeking compensatory damages of $25,000.00 and treble damages of $75,000.00 under RPAPL § 853 was an action which must be brought in Supreme Court because the treble damages claim is beyond the monetary jurisdiction of the court and the court lacks subject matter jurisdiction (See also, Kiros v St.Stephen's Bible College Realty Management, NYLJ, 9/26/01, p. 18, col. 6). There is a difference between the RPAPL § 853 action and one brought under CCA § 1812.
