OMISSION OF RETURN DATE FROM AN ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE, WHICH DID NOT RESULT IN PREJUDICE, SHOULD HAVE BEEN DISREGARDED AS A TECHNICAL DEFECT (SECOND DEPT).

The Second Department, reversing Supreme Court, determined the plaintiffs' serving a faulty copy of an order to show cause which did not include the return date should not have been deemed a jurisdictional defect. The defendants appeared on the return date, so there was no prejudice:

Unbeknownst to the plaintiffs, the Kings County Clerk's Office encountered some type of error when scanning and uploading the signed order to show cause to the eCourts system. The digital copy of the order to show cause omitted the page containing the return date of February 27, 2015, among other things, although the remaining pages feature the handwritten notation “2/27/15.” The plaintiffs printed the faulty digital copy without noticing the error and served that copy on the defendants with supporting papers, using the method specified in the order to show cause. * * *

“The failure to give proper notice of a motion deprives the court of jurisdiction to hear the motion” … . However, the defect in service here was “merely technical”… . Under these circumstances, given that no substantial right of the defendants was prejudiced, the Supreme Court should have disregarded the irregularity and determined the motion on the merits (see CPLR 2001 … ). Young v City of New York, 2018 NY Slip Op 05793, Second Dept 8-15-18
