New Jersey Steel Acquisition Corp. v. Roll

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, First Department
Dec 1, 1992
188 A.D.2d 279 (N.Y. App. Div. 1992)

Opinion

December 1, 1992

Appeal from the Supreme Court, New York County (David B. Saxe. J.).


The IAS Court properly held that plaintiff waived its right to a jury trial when it joined its legal and equitable causes of action arising out of the same alleged wrong in its complaint (Zimmer-Masiello, Inc. v Zimmer, Inc., 164 A.D.2d 845). Plaintiff's claims of tortious interference and unjust enrichment, as pleaded in the complaint, do not arise out of separate transactions, and therefore do not entitle plaintiff to a jury trial on those causes of action (CPLR 4102 [c]). Finally, having waived its right to a jury trial by joining its legal and equitable claims, that right may not be subsequently revived (Zimmer-Masiello, Inc. v Zimmer, Inc., supra; Kaplan v Long Is. Univ., 116 A.D.2d 508).
