MOTION TO REMOVE A PERSONAL INJURY ACTION FROM CIVIL COURT TO SUPREME COURT SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN GRANTED BECAUSE IT WAS NOT ACCOMPANIED BY A REQUEST TO AMEND THE AD DAMNUM CLAUSE, NOTICE OF APPEAL WAS TIMELY BECAUSE DEFENDANT WAS NEVER SERVED WITH A NOTICE OF ENTRY (SECOND DEPT).

The Second Department determined the motion to remove a personal injury action from Civil Court to Supreme Court (King’s County) should not have been granted because no motion to amend the ad damnum clause was made. The court noted that because the defendant was never served with notice of entry of the order granting plaintiff’s motion, the notice of appeal was timely filed:

The plaintiff … moved pursuant to CPLR 325(b) to remove the action to the Supreme Court, Kings County. In the order appealed … , the Supreme Court granted the motion. It is undisputed that a written notice of entry of the order … was never served on the defendant.

Since the defendant was not served with a proper notice of entry, the defendant’s time to appeal never commenced running, and its notice of appeal was therefore timely filed (see CPLR 5513[a]…).

A motion to remove an action from the Civil Court to the Supreme Court pursuant to CPLR 325(b) must be accompanied by a request for leave to amend the ad damnum clause of the complaint pursuant to CPLR 3025(b) … . Here, the amount stated in the ad damnum clause was within the jurisdictional limits of the Civil Court, and no request for leave to amend the ad damnum clause was made. In the absence of an application to increase the ad damnum clause, the plaintiff’s motion to remove the action to the Supreme Court should have been denied … . Hart v New York City Hous.
