N.Y. Uniform District 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 $15,000 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.
