Civil Procedure, Corporation Law

SHAREHOLDERS’ DERIVATIVE ACTION IS EQUITABLE IN NATURE, MOTION TO STRIKE DEMAND FOR A JURY TRIAL SHOULD HAVE BEEN GRANTED.

The First Department, reversing Supreme Court, determined defendant's motion to strike plaintiff's demand for a jury trial in this shareholders' derivative action should have been granted. The court noted that a motion to strike a demand for a jury trial can be made anytime up to the opening of trial:

Supreme Court erred in finding that plaintiff in this shareholders' derivative action was entitled to a jury trial, since the claims brought in his capacity as a shareholder were “derivative and therefore equitable in nature” … . Contrary to plaintiff's contention, the motion was not untimely, since a motion to strike a demand for a jury trial may be made at anytime up to the opening of trial … , and we find no prejudice in defendants' delay of a few months, following the restoration of the case to the calendar, in making their motion. Moyal v Sleppin, 2016 NY Slip Op 04107, 1st Dept 5-26-16
