In NYC you may sue for up to $10,000 in Small Claims Court. You cannot split your claim into smaller claims to get around the limit.
If the defendant is not in Court within 1 hour from the time the case is scheduled, the Court will hear your case without the defendant. (This is called an inquest.) If you show enough evidence, you may win your case. If this happens the Court will enter a default judgment against the defendant.
There is a Small Claims Court in every city, town and village in New York State. To file a claim you must fill out forms and provide the correct business name, legal name, and business address. To find the business legal name, a County Clerk's office can help you.
Conclusion: Going to small claims court may be worth it for $500, but it will determine how you weigh your costs versus benefits. At a minimum, it is worth it to send a demand letter.
The return date is the court date. The party making the motion chooses the court date and puts it in the Notice of Motion so everyone knows when to come to court. NYSCEF wants to know the court date and has a calendar button to find the court date you picked.
A motion may be withdrawn at any time prior to its return date by filing with the clerk a written request signed by counsel for the moving party. A request to withdraw a motion after submission must be supported by a stipulation of withdrawal signed by all counsel.
Motions made by notice of motion and petitions and notices of petition in special proceedings are processed by the General Clerk's Office (Room 119) and are to be made returnable in the Motion Submission Part Courtroom (Room 130) on any business day of the week at AM.
