Source page 4Motion practice
While prior approval is not required to bring a discovery motion, the court remains available to discuss discovery issues in an effort to avoid such a motion.
Source page 4Discovery

D. Compromise Applications: All applications for court approval of a proposed compromise of an infant or other disabled party’s claim must be submitted through the Special Term, with proof of service on all remaining parties. Compliance with the provisions of CPLR 1207, 1208 and 22 NYCRR 202.67 and a proposed distribution of net amounts to be recovered by the disabled plaintiff that is consistent with the provisions of CPLR 1206 is required. The Court will not accept medical reports/affidavits executed more than six months prior to the submission date.
Source page 6Conferences and appearances
The report must indicate whether the injured plaintiff has fully recovered, and if not, the nature and extent of the injuries and the costs of future treatment. Since the Court may direct that notice of the application be given to all persons who possess claims against the proceeds recoverable under the compromise, including those with statutory liens, the names and addresses of all such persons and the amount of their prospective claims must be set forth in the petition. If no person has asserted such a claim, the petition must so state. Once the submissions are complete, an appearance date shall be scheduled by the Court.
Source page 6Filing and working copies
E. Hearings/Inquests: All hearings and/or inquests emanating from cases in the inventory of IAS Part 26 shall be scheduled by the Court. The filing of a note of issue is a condition precedent to the commencement of any hearing or inquest.
Source page 6Adjournments
F. Sanctions: The Court will not consider a sanctions application unless the moving party first seeks withdrawal or discontinuance of the offending act or action or demands required or necessary action which is refused. Proof of such request must be made a part of the sanctions application.
Source page 6Conferences and appearances
H. Mandatory Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR): In light of the Mandatory ADR program, all cases before the court will be scheduled on two separate tracks. One track will be the settlement/ADR track, and appearances on the settlement track can be scheduled before the IAS Part, a JHO or volunteer mediators. The parties are also free, as always, to take part in private mediation. The second track will be the compliance/certification track and that shall remain with the IAS Part. However, parties should expect that EVERY conference before the IAS Part will also be a settlement conference, and parties should appear with the authority to settle the matter.
