COURT NOTE
 |
| The New York Stock Exchange |
By notice dated February 23, 2004, the court informed the Bar that, beginning March 1, 2004, the transfer and preliminary review mechanisms of the Guidelines for Assignment of Cases to the Commercial Division would be suspended until further notice. This is to advise the Bar that this experimental suspension will come to an end as of the close of business on May 28, 2004. Beginning June 1, 2004, the full operation of the Guidelines as written will resume. The relevant back offices will once again conduct a preliminary review for new cases and cases will not be assigned to the Commercial Division where they fail to meet the monetary threshold set forth in the Guidelines. Cases that are determined by a Division Justice to be non-commercial in nature may be transferred to a non-Commercial Part. As indicated in the February 23 notice, the Division will study the effects of the suspension and, after input from the Bar, may make permanent adjustments to the Guidelines. Notice will be provided if any such revisions are made.
Dated: May 25, 2004

COURT NOTE
Effective March 1, 2004, and until further notice, the Commercial Division of Supreme Court, Civil Branch, NY County will suspend operation of the transfer and preliminary review mechanisms set out in the Guidelines for Assignment of Cases to the Commercial Division. Cases that have been designated "Commercial" on the Request for Judicial Intervention will not be assigned to a General Part after preliminary review nor transferred out of the Division and reassigned for failure to meet a monetary threshold or because of the nature of the subjects at issue (except for matters that are manifestly not commercial in character, such as a dispute over the valuation of assets in a matrimonial proceeding). The Division will study the effects of this suspension and will make such permanent adjustments to the Guidelines as may be advisable in light of the results, notice of which will promptly be provided to the Bar.

Justices of the Commercial Division:
Justice Herman Cahn
Justice Helen E. Freedman
Justice Bernard J. Fried
Justice Ira Gammerman
Justice Richard B. Lowe Iii
Justice Karla Moskowitz
Justice Charles E. Ramos
In general, the Commercial Division entertains complex commercial and business disputes in which a party seeks compensatory damages totaling $ 125,000 or more (exclusive of interest, costs, and attorney's fees). Due to caseload considerations, the Justices of the Division are empowered to transfer out of the Division cases which, in their judgment, do not fall within this category notwithstanding that a party has described the case as "commercial" on the Request for Judicial Intervention. The principles set out below will guide the exercise of this authority. Parties should adhere to these principles when designating a case type on the RJI.
(A) The following will presumptively be transferred out of the Divisio
