The New York Blue back Notice of Petition is a document used in New York Supreme Court proceedings. It is a formal notice of a petition that has been filed with the court, informing the respondent (the person or entity against whom the petition is filed) that a petition has been filed against them. The Notice of Petition informs the respondent of the specific relief requested in the petition, as well as the court's jurisdiction over the matter, the date of filing, and the time period in which the respondent must answer or otherwise respond to the petition. There are two types of New York Blue back Notice of Petition: regular and special. Regular Notices of Petition are used in ordinary proceedings, such as the filing of an action for divorce, while Special Notices of Petition are used in proceedings that require special consideration, such as the filing of a petition to vacate an arbitration award.
