Deliberate Joinder of Claims for Legal and Equitable Relief Arising from the Same Transaction Constitutes a Waiver of the Right to Demand a Jury Trial

The Second Department noted that the deliberate joinder of claims for legal and equitable relief arising from the same transaction constitutes a waiver of the right to demand a jury trial. In addition, the court dismissed the aspect of the appeal for which the relevant portions of the record were omitted from the appendix. With respect to the contents of the appendix submitted on appeal, the Second Department wrote:

” An appellant who perfects an appeal by using the appendix method must file an appendix that contains all the relevant portions of the record in order to enable the court to render an informed decision on the merits of the appeal'” … . “The appendix shall contain those portions of the record necessary to permit the court to fully consider the issues which will be raised by the appellant and the respondent” (22 NYCRR 670.10-b[c][1]; see CPLR 5528[a][5]). Here, the plaintiff omitted material excerpts from the transcripts of trial testimony and critical exhibits she relies on in seeking review of the dismissal of her disability discrimination cause of action. These omissions inhibit this Court’s ability to render an informed decision on the merits of the appeal … . Accordingly, the appeal from so much of the judgment as is in favor of the defendants and against the plaintiff, in effect, dismissing the second cause of action must be dismissed.
