N.Y. Uniform District Court Act § 1807-a: Proceedings on default and review of judgments

§ 1807-A. Proceedings on default and review of judgments.

(a) A claimant commencing an action upon a commercial claim under this

article shall be deemed to have waived all right to appeal, except that

either party may appeal on the sole grounds that substantial justice has

not been done between the parties according to the rules and principles

of substantive law.

(b) The clerk shall mail notice of the default judgment by first class

mail, both to the claimant and to the party complained against. Such

notice shall inform the defaulting party, in language promulgated by the

state office of court administration, of such party's legal obligation

to pay; that failure to pay may result in garnishments, repossessions,

seizures and similar actions; and that if there was a reasonable excuse

for the default, the defaulting party may apply to have the default

vacated by submitting a written request to the court.

(c) Proceedings on default under this article are to be governed by,

but are not limited to, section five thousand fifteen of the civil

practice law and rules.
