THE JUDGE SHOULD NOT HAVE, SUA SPONTE, IMPOSED AN INJUNCTION AND DETERMINED ISSUES OF FACT; NO MOTION WAS BEFORE THE COURT AND NO HEARING WAS HELD (SECOND DEPT).

The Second Department, reversing Supreme Court, determined the judge should not have, sua sponte, imposed an injunction on defendant and determined issues of fact without a motion before the court and without holding a hearing:

The Supreme Court, after a status conference … , issued an order, sua sponte, … which, … directed the defendant … to take all steps necessary to obtain a permit from the Department of Buildings to complete the work on one of the subject properties and expedite repairs to that property, including the submission of new plans by the defendant … .

Since no motion was pending before it, the Supreme Court should not have, sua sponte, and without a hearing, imposed an injunction on the defendant and determined issues of fact … . “A court is generally limited to noticed issues that are the subject of the motion before it” … . … The plaintiffs did not move for an injunction … and the court did not hold a hearing … . City of New York v Quadrozzi, 2020 NY Slip Op 07857, Second Dept 12-23-20
