SUBPOENAS RELATING TO CROSS CLAIMS SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN QUASHED (FIRST DEPT).

The First Department, reversing Supreme Court, determined subpoenas that related to cross claims should not have quashed

[Defendant’s] motion to quash the nonparty subpoenas … to obtain information related to … cross claims … (CPLR 3101[a][4]) should have been denied. Although the subpoenaed information was unrelated to the interpleader action, in New York, cross claims “may be asserted between defendants for any cause of action at all, whether or not related to the plaintiff’s main claim” ( … CPLR 3019[b]). As the requested information is relevant to the pending cross claims, they could be properly subpoenaed. Thus, we remand the matter for discovery to the extent the requested information is “material and necessary” to the cross claims (CPLR 3101[a][4] …). Feiger v Ray Enters., LLC, 2021 NY Slip Op 03525, First Dept 6-3-21
