2006 New York Code - Transferred Cases.

 
  § 214. Transferred cases.
    In  a case brought in the supreme court or county court of Westchester
  county where money damages only are sought and classification,  pretrial
  or  other  appropriate procedures in either of said courts or the demand
  for  relief  have  determined  that  the  potential  recovery,  assuming
  liability,  in  an action or proceeding or counterclaim therein will not
  exceed the sum of five  thousand  dollars,  exclusive  of  interest  and
  costs,  if such action or proceeding is transferred to a town or village
  court in the county of Westchester having jurisdiction  of  the  parties
  under  section  two  hundred  thirteen  of this act, pursuant to section
  nineteen of article six  of  the  state  constitution,  the  verdict  or
  judgment of such justice court shall not be subject to the limitation of
  monetary  jurisdiction  specified  elsewhere  in  this  article for such
  court, but shall be subject instead to a monetary  jurisdiction  not  to
  exceed   five   thousand  dollars,  exclusive  of  interest  and  costs.
  Alternatively, for purposes of this section only, in the furtherance  of
  the  interests  of  justice,  such transfer may be made (a) to a justice
  court in a municipality adjacent to a municipality designated in section
  two hundred thirteen of this act or to a justice court in a municipality
  adjacent to a city in Westchester county  whose  court  would  otherwise
  have  had  jurisdiction  by the calendar justice of the supreme court or
  judge of the county court; or (b) to any justice court in the county  of
  Westchester  by the administrative judge of the ninth judicial district.
  Costs incurred by local municipalities in administering their courts  as
  a  result  of  the application of this section shall be a charge against
  the county of Westchester within the amounts appropriated by the  county
  therefor  and subject to reasonable rules and regulations thereof by the
  county.
