The New York Civil Nature of Suit Code Descriptions are codes used to classify civil cases that are filed in the Supreme Court and the Court of Claims in New York. These code descriptions are used to categorize the type of legal action being taken and the nature of the case. The New York Civil Nature of Suit Codes are divided into two categories: Supreme Court codes and Court of Claims codes. Supreme Court codes are used to classify cases in the Supreme Court, and are composed of three parts: the subject code, the cause of action code, and the relief sought code. The subject code identifies the type of case, such as contract, property, or tort. The cause of action code identifies the type of action being taken, such as breach of contract or negligence. The relief sought code identifies the type of remedy sought, such as damages or specific performance. Court of Claims codes are used to classify cases in the Court of Claims, and are composed of two parts: the type of action code and the subject code. The type of action code identifies the type of action being taken, such as tort or contract. The subject code identifies the specific type of claim, such as assault, battery, or medical malpractice. Both Supreme Court and Court of Claims codes are used to classify civil cases in New York. These codes help the courts to organize the large number of cases they receive and to manage them efficiently.
