Civil Procedure

FURTHER LAWSUITS BETWEEN HUSBAND AND WIFE PROPERLY PROHIBITED BY THE COURT.

The Second Department determined it was appropriate to prohibit further lawsuits in this long-standing series of actions between husband and wife:

​

The plaintiff appeals from the denial of that branch of his motion which was to enjoin the defendants from commencing any new litigation against, or engaging in any applications or motion practice in existing actions involving, the plaintiff, his medical practice, his wife, Janet Rugg Lew, or his counsel, Wand & Goody, LLP, without prior written permission of the Supreme Court. Although public policy generally mandates free access to the courts, a party may forfeit that right if he or she abuses the judicial process by engaging in vexatious litigation … . Here, the record reflects that both the plaintiff and the defendants have engaged in extensive vexatious litigation against each other in the Family Court and the Supreme Court from 2003 to the present. Under the circumstances of this case, it would only be appropriate to enjoin the defendants from engaging in further litigation if the plaintiff was enjoined as well. Accordingly, we reverse the order entered September 3, 2014, insofar as appealed from, and grant the subject branch of the plaintiff’s motion on condition that he stipulate that he be likewise enjoined from commencing any new litigation against the defendants or engaging in any applications or motion practice in existing actions involving the defendants without written permission of the Supreme Court. If the plaintiff does not so stipulate and serve and file such stipulation in accordance with the terms of this order, then we affirm the order insofar as appealed from. Lew v Sobel, 2017 NY Slip Op 05076, 2nd Dept 6-21-17
