§ 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.
