Amended judgment reversed on the law without costs and motion for additional allowance denied. Memorandum: Petitioner condemned certain real property previously owned by respondent. The award made by Supreme Court was modified by this Court (Niagara Mohawk Power Corp. v Great Bend Aggregates, 167 A.D.2d 850), and respondent filed an amended judgment and order, together with a bill of costs. On December 7, 1990, petitioner forwarded a draft in full payment of the amended judgment. Respondent then delivered to petitioner's attorneys a satisfaction of judgment and motion papers seeking an additional allowance pursuant to EDPL 701. The satisfaction of judgment was filed on January 11, 1991. Supreme Court, by order dated February 1, 1991, explicitly held that it was not amending the previous judgment, but purported to grant a new judgment for additional costs based upon the motion. That was error.
A judgment is the determination of the rights of the parties in an action or special proceeding (CPLR 5011). Any award for an additional allowance, like claims for interest, disbursements and costs, must be made as part of the original proceeding and be incorporated into the final judgment (see, Adventurers Whitestone Corp. v City of New York, 65 N.Y.2d 83, appeal dismissed 474 U.S. 935; Schenectady Trust Co. v Emmons, 290 N.Y. 225, 229). No claim is made that respondent could not have made a request for an additional allowance prior to entering its final judgment. Under usual principles of claim preclusion, respondent is barred from raising an issue in a second cause of action which it could have raised in the condemnation proceeding (see, Adventurers Whitestone Corp. v City of New York, supra, at 89-90).
Moreover, neither an action nor a special proceeding was pending before Supreme Court upon which the instant judgment could have been based. There is no statutory basis to commence an action by motion, and the court was therefore without jurisdiction to make the additional award (see, Kreindler v Irving Trust Co., 60 Misc.2d 441, 442; Matter of Cammaratta, 60 Misc.2d 521, 522).
Accordingly, the judgment of Supreme Court, which amended the order of February 1, 1991 (see, CPLR 5019 [a]), is reversed.
All concur, except Callahan, J.P., who dissents and votes to affirm in the following Memorandum.
Callahan, J.P. (dissenting).
I concur with the learned decision of Supreme Court, Jefferson County (Gilbert, J.). The majority clearly ignores EDPL 701 which permits an additional discretionary allowance for an award of "actual and necessary costs, disbursements and expenses * * * actually incurred by [the] condemnee." By its decision the majority is depriving the condemnee of its constitutional and statutory right to receive just compensation. The right to an additional allowance does not accrue until there is an award, order or judgment in the underlying condemnation proceeding. The fact that this condemnee made application upon notice simultaneous with forwarding the satisfaction of the judgment does not constitute a waiver of that right.
Furthermore, Supreme Court had authority under CPLR 5019 (a) to correct any mistake, defect or irregularity in a judgment or order "not affecting a substantial right of a party" (Crain v Crain, 109 A.D.2d 1094; see, Bolger v Davis, 127 A.D.2d 979). Respondent sought to correct a clerical error in computing the total amount of the appraiser's fee incurred in the condemnation proceeding. The papers before the court on the original application for an additional allowance pursuant to EDPL 701 included two separate statements submitted by the appraiser setting forth his fees for services. Respondent simply neglected to add the two fees together in making the claim for reimbursement. Clerical errors or a mistake in the entry of the judgment or the omission of a right or relief to which a party is entitled as a matter of course may be corrected by the trial court through an amendment (Herpe v Herpe, 225 N.Y. 323, 327). The omission here was nothing more than inadvertence, hence the amendment was proper (Crain v Crain, supra).
