REQUIRING AN OUT OF STATE RESIDENT TO POST SECURITY FOR COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH BRINGING A LAWSUIT IN NEW YORK DOES NOT VIOLATE THE PRIVILEGES AND IMMUNITIES CLAUSE OF THE US CONSTITUTION.

The Second Department, in a full-fledged opinion by Justice Dickerson, determined requiring an out-of-state resident to post security for costs associated with a lawsuit brought in New York does not violate the Privileges and Immunities Clause of the US Constitution. The plaintiff was injured in an accident in New York (when she was a New York resident) and subsequently moved to Georgia. The defendants moved pursuant to CPLR 8501 and 8503 to direct plaintiff to post security for costs in the amount of $500:

… [T]he U.S. Supreme Court has stated that the Privileges and Immunities Clause is satisfied so long as a nonresident ” is given access to the courts of the State upon terms which in themselves are reasonable and adequate for the enforcing of any rights he [or she] may have'” … . … There is a substantial reason for the difference in treatment between nonresidents and residents, namely, the fact that nonresident plaintiffs are unlikely to have assets in New York that may be used to enforce a costs judgment. And the discrimination practiced against nonresidents—requiring nonresident plaintiffs to post security for costs—bears a substantial relationship to the State’s objective of deterring frivolous or harassing lawsuits and preventing a defendant from having to resort to a foreign jurisdiction to enforce a costs judgment … . Clement v Durban, 2016 NY Slip Op 08500, 2nd Dept 12-21-16
