ORDER ENTERED ON CONSENT IS NOT APPEALABLE; ONLY REMEDY IS MOTION TO VACATE.

In a Family Court matter, the Fourth Department noted that no appeal lies from an order entered by consent. The correct remedy is a motion to vacate the order:

 

Respondent mother appeals from an order denying her motion to vacate an order of fact-finding and disposition, which was entered on the consent of the parties. We agree with the mother that Family Court erred in denying the motion on the sole ground that a direct appeal from that order was pending. It is well settled that “[n]o appeal lies from an order entered upon the parties’ consent” … and, indeed, we dismissed the mother’s appeal from the consent order for that very reason … . Thus, contrary to the court’s determination, the mother’s sole remedy was ” to move in Family Court to vacate the order, at which time [she] [could] present proof in support of [her] allegations of duress, proof which is completely absent from this record’ ” … . Matter of Annabella B.C. (Sandra L.C.), 2016 NY Slip Op 01064, 4th Dept 2-11-16

 

APPEAL (NO APPEAL LIES FROM A CONSENT ORDER)/CIVIL PROCEDURE (NO APPEAL LIES FROM A CONSENT ORDER, ONLY REMEDY IS MOTION TO VACATE)/FAMILY LAW (NO APPEAL LIES FROM A CONSENT ORDER OF FACT-FINDING AND DISPOSITION, ONLY REMEDY IS MOTION TO VACATE)
