MOTION FOR A DECLARATORY JUDGMENT SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN GRANTED BECAUSE THERE WAS NO DEMAND FOR DECLARATORY RELIEF IN THE PLEADINGS (SECOND DEPT).

The Second Department, reversing Supreme Court, determined the motion for a declaratory judgment should not have been granted because declaratory relief was not in the pleadings:

… Supreme Court should have denied the … motion for a declaration that the contract and its amendments are null and void, because that declaratory relief was not demanded in the pleadings filed in this proceeding (see CPLR 3017[b] …). Matter of Mount Olive Baptist Church of Manhasset, 2019 NY Slip Op 09270, Second Dept 12-24-19
