§ 1805-A. Remedies available; transfer of commercial claims.

(a) Upon determination of a commercial claim, the court shall direct
judgment in accordance with its findings, and, when necessary to do
substantial justice between the parties, may condition the entry of
judgment upon such terms as the court shall deem proper. Pursuant to
section fifty-two hundred twenty-nine of the civil practice law and
rules prior to entering a judgment, the court may order the examination
of or disclosure by, the defendant and restrain him to the same extent
as if a restraining notice had been served upon him after judgment was
entered.

(b) The court shall have power to transfer any commercial claim or
claims to any other part of the court upon such terms as the rules may
provide, and proceed to hear the same according to the usual practice
and procedure applicable to other parts of the court.

(c) No counterclaim shall be permitted in a commercial claims action,
unless the court would have had monetary jurisdiction over the
counterclaim if it had been filed as a commercial claim. Any other claim
sought to be maintained against the claimant may be filed in any court
of competent jurisdiction.

(d) If the defendant appears to be engaged in repeated fraudulent or
illegal acts or otherwise demonstrates persistent fraud or illegality in
the carrying on, conducting or transaction of business, the court shall
either advise the attorney general in relation to his authority under
subdivision twelve of section sixty-three of the executive law, or shall
advise the claimant to do same, but shall retain jurisdiction over the
commercial claim.

(e) If the defendant appears to be engaged in fraudulent or illegal
acts or otherwise demonstrates fraud or illegality in the carrying on,
conducting or transaction of a licensed or certified business, the court
shall either advise the appropriate state or local licensing or
certifying authority or shall advise the claimant to do same, but shall
retain jurisdiction over the commercial claim.
