DEFENDANT WAIVED THE LACK-OF-PERSONAL-JURISDICTION DEFENSE BY COUNSEL’S FILING A NOTICE OF APPEARANCE WITHOUT RAISING THE JURISDICTION OBJECTION (SECOND DEPT).

​The Second Department, reversing Supreme Court, determined the defendant waived a lack-of-personal-jurisdiction defense by counsel’s filing a notice of appearance without raising the jurisdictional objection:

“‘By statute, a party may appear in an action by attorney (CPLR 321), and such an appearance constitutes an appearance by the party for purposes of conferring jurisdiction'” … . Here, the defendant appeared in the action by its counsel’s filing of the notice of appearance … , and neither the defendant nor its attorney moved to dismiss the complaint for lack of personal jurisdiction at that time or asserted lack of personal jurisdiction in a responsive pleading. Thus, the defendant waived any objection based on lack of personal jurisdiction by failing to move to dismiss the complaint on this ground at the time its counsel filed a notice of appearance in the action or to serve an answer which raised this jurisdictional objection … . Capital One N.A. v Ezkor, 2022 NY Slip Op 05829, Second Dept 10-19-22

Similar issue and result in: HSBC Bank USA N.A. v Mohammed, 2022 NY Slip Op 05843, Second Dept 10-19-22

Practice Point: Counsel’s filing a notice of appearance without raising a lack-of-personal-jurisdiction objection waives the objection.
