2006 New York Code - Remedies Available; Transfer Of Commercial Claims.

 
  § 1805-A. Remedies available; transfer of commercial claims.
    (a)  Upon  determination of a commercial claim, the court shall direct
  judgment in accordance with its findings,  and,  when  necessary  to  do
  substantial  justice  between  the  parties,  may condition the entry of
  judgment upon such terms as the court shall  deem  proper.  Pursuant  to
  section  fifty-two  hundred  twenty-nine  of  the civil practice law and
  rules, prior to entering a judgment, the court may order the examination
  of or disclosure by, the defendant and restrain him to the  same  extent
  as  if  a restraining notice had been served upon him after judgment was
  entered.
    (b) The court shall have power to transfer  any  commercial  claim  or
  claims  to  any other part of the court upon such terms as the rules may
  provide, and proceed to hear the same according to  the  usual  practice
  and procedure applicable to other parts of the court.
    (c)  No counterclaim shall be permitted in a commercial claims action,
  unless  the  court  would  have  had  monetary  jurisdiction  over   the
  counterclaim if it had been filed as a commercial claim. Any other claim
  sought  to  be maintained against the claimant may be filed in any court
  of competent jurisdiction.
    (d) If the defendant appears to be engaged in repeated  fraudulent  or
  illegal acts or otherwise demonstrates persistent fraud or illegality in
  the  carrying on, conducting or transaction of business, the court shall
  either advise the attorney general in relation to  his  authority  under
  subdivision twelve of section sixty-three of the executive law, or shall
  advise  the  claimant to do same, but shall retain jurisdiction over the
  commercial claim.
    (e) If the defendant appears to be engaged in  fraudulent  or  illegal
  acts  or  otherwise demonstrates fraud or illegality in the carrying on,
  conducting or transaction of a licensed or certified business, the court
  shall  either  advise  the  appropriate  state  or  local  licensing  or
  certifying  authority or shall advise the claimant to do same, but shall
  retain jurisdiction over the commercial claim.
