ORDER LIMITING TRIAL EVIDENCE WAS APPEALABLE.

The Third Department determined an order precluding a party from introducing evidence at trial was appealable in this case. However, under the facts, the order was properly granted. With respect to the appealability of the motion in limine, the court wrote:

As a threshold matter, an order ruling on a motion in limine is generally not appealable as of right or by permission “since an order[] made in advance of trial which merely determined the admissibility of evidence is an unappealable advisory ruling” … . “However, an order that limits the scope of issues to be tried, affecting the merits of the controversy or the substantial rights of a party, is appealable” … . The order appealed from here, rather than “merely limit[ing] the production of certain evidence as immaterial to damages,” restricted plaintiffs' ability to prove and recover damages … and it is, therefore, appealable … . Calabrese Bakeries, Inc. v Rockland Bakery, Inc., 2016 NY Slip Op 03772, 3rd Dept 5-12-16
