Universal Citation: NY Em Dom Pro L § 511 (2021)
§  511.  Joint  or  consolidated  trials.  (A)  In  proceedings  under
subdivision (A) of section five hundred one,  two  or  more  acquisition
claims  arising  from  the  same  project  may, at the discretion of the
court, be heard and determined by the court in one trial or  proceeding.
When  some,  but  not all claims arising from a single project have been
filed, and the court shall determine that a joint or consolidated  trial
is  desirable,  the  court, upon motion of any party, may order that any
condemnee who has not yet done so, file a claim in accordance  with  the
provisions of this act within one hundred twenty days after service of a
copy  of  the order. If a condemnee fails to file a claim within the one
hundred twenty day period, his claim shall thereafter be tried upon  the
proof  presented.    Nothing in this section shall extend the period for
filing a claim as provided within section five  hundred  three  of  this
law.

(B) In proceedings under subdivision (B) of section five hundred one the court may conduct all trials relating to a project as a single proceeding in one or more parts, or may consolidate and order that a joint trial be had of the claims of any parties filing separate notices of appearance as the orderly administration of justice shall require.
