WHERE THERE IS AN INCONSISTENCY BETWEEN AN ORDER OR A JUDGMENT AND THE DECISION UPON WHICH IT IS BASED, THE DECISION CONTROLS (FIRST DEPT).

The First Department noted that where a judgment or order is inconsistent with the decision upon which it is based, the decision controls:

“A written order [or judgment] must conform strictly to the court’s decision and in the event of an inconsistency between a judgment and a decision or order upon which it is based, the decision or order controls” … . “Such an inconsistency may be corrected either by way of a motion for resettlement or on appeal” … .

The motion court’s decision, amended to grant plaintiff’s motion for summary judgment on his first cause of action for breach of the … modified agreement, also found that plaintiff was entitled to a money judgment in his favor for past due amounts owed. Because there is a conflict between the relief the motion court found plaintiff was entitled to in its decision, and the relief granted to plaintiff in the judgment, which made no provision for a money judgment as to plaintiff’s first cause of action, the court’s decision controls. Schwartzbard v Cogan, 2021 NY Slip Op 01523, First Dept 3-16-21
