N.Y. Civil Practice Law & Rules § 6001: Kinds of provisional remedies; when remedy available to defendant

§ 6001. Kinds of provisional remedies; when remedy available to

defendant. The provisional remedies are attachment, injunction,

receivership and notice of pendency. On a motion for a provisional

remedy, the plaintiff shall state whether any other provisional remedy

has been secured or sought in the same action against the same

defendant, and the court may require the plaintiff to elect between

those remedies to which he would otherwise be entitled; for this

purpose, seizure of a chattel in an action to recover a chattel is a

provisional remedy. A cause of action contained in a counterclaim or a

cross-claim, and a judgment demanded thereon, shall entitle the

defendant to the same provisional remedies to which he would be entitled

if he were the plaintiff, the party against whom the judgment is

demanded were the defendant and the cause of action were contained in a

complaint.
