Title 9 - (1200 - 1221) NEW YORK CITY TRANSIT AUTHORITY
1212-A - Security by authority.

  1212-a. Security by authority. 1. Each provision of statute or rule
  requiring a party to give security for the purpose of procuring an order
  of arrest, an injunction order, or a warrant  of  attachment,  or  as  a
  condition  of  obtaining  any other relief, or taking any proceeding; or
  allowing the court or a judge to require such security to be  given,  is
  to  be construed as excluding an action brought by the authority; except
  where the security to be given in such an action is specially  regulated
  by the provision in question.
2.  In  any  action in which the authority shall be excused by statute
  from giving security on procuring  an  order  of  arrest,  an  order  of
  injunction or a warrant of attachment, the authority shall be liable for
  all  damages  that  may  be sustained by the opposite party by reason of
  such order of arrest, attachment or injunction, in the same case and  to
  the same extent as sureties to an undertaking would have been if such an
  undertaking had been given.
3. Upon an appeal taken by the authority, the service of the notice of
  appeal  perfects  the  appeal and stays the execution of the judgment or
  order appealed from, without an undertaking or other security.
