N.Y. New York City Civil Court Act § 211: Joinder of causes of action in complaint; effect on jurisdiction

§ 211. Joinder of causes of action in complaint; effect on

jurisdiction. Where several causes of action are asserted in the

complaint and each of them would be within the jurisdiction of the court

if sued upon separately, the court shall have jurisdiction of the

action. In such case judgment may be rendered by the court in excess of

$50,000 if such excess result solely because of such joinder. Nothing

herein shall be construed to prevent the court from granting judgment in

an unlimited amount on a counterclaim.
