Terms of Appellate Court’s Remittitur Must Be Strictly Followed

In a breach of contract action that had been remitted to Supreme Court, the Second Department determined Supreme Court failed adhere to the terms of the remittitur by failing to calculate interest and express the amount due and owing in accordance with the remittitur. In sending the case back to Supreme Court, the Second Department wrote:

“A trial court, upon remittitur, lacks the power to deviate from the mandate of the higher court” …. “An order or judgment entered by the lower court on a remittitur must conform strictly to the remittitur'” …. Berry v Williams, 2013 NY Slip Op 03625, 2nd Dept, 5-22-13
