THE MOTION TO INTERVENE DID NOT HAVE THE PROPOSED PLEADING ATTACHED; THE MOTION SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN GRANTED (FIRST DEPT).

The First Department, reversing Supreme Court, determined the motion to intervene should have been denied because the proposed pleading was not attached to the motion:

A motion seeking leave to intervene, whether made pursuant to CPLR 1012 or 1013, must include the proposed intervenor’s proposed pleading (see CPLR 1014 …). Here, Plotch did not submit a proposed pleading with her motion for leave to intervene, nor did she submit an affidavit which in some cases may excuse the failure to attach a proposed pleading … . Plotch’s reliance on Oversea Chinese Mission v Well-Come Holdings, Inc. (145 AD3d 634 [1st Dept 2016]) for the proposition that no proposed pleading is required is misplaced. That case made no reference to CPLR 1014, which specifically provides that “[a] motion to intervene shall be accompanied by a proposed pleading setting forth the claim or defense for which intervention is sought” … . U.S. Bank Trust N.A. v 21647 LLC, 2023 NY Slip Op 02955, First Dept 6-1-23

Practice Point: Here the motion to intervene should have been denied because the proposed pleading was not attached.
