§ 1001. Motion practice.

Motion practice in the court, including time provisions for the making
and decision of motions, practice relating to show cause orders, and
practice relating to motions before, during and after trial, shall be
governed by the CPLR, except as this act otherwise provides. Nothing
contained in this article shall be construed to prevent the court, if
the parties consent, from entertaining any matter, which might be raised
by formal motion, without a formal motion or at a time prior to the time
when the formal motion would be heard.
