DECANA, INC. v. J.D. ROSS INT'L, INC

The equitable relief sought by the plaintiff in Decana, Inc. v J.D. Ross Intl., Inc. (index No. 114142/95) is not within the jurisdiction of the Civil Court (Manhattan Parking Sys. — Serv. Corp. v. Murray House Owners Corp., 211 A.D.2d 534, 535; Doo Soon Chung v. Doo Nam Kim, 170 A.D.2d 232, 233) and declaratory relief sought therein is also unavailable in Civil Court (Green v Glenbriar Co., 131 A.D.2d 363). Consolidation of these actions is appropriate given the commonality of law and facts and the lack of prejudice to either party (Humiston v. Grose, 144 A.D.2d 907, 907-908).

Concur — Murphy, P.J., Wallach, Ross, Nardelli and Williams, JJ.
