New York Demand for Trial De Novo is a legal procedure through which a defendant can challenge a civil court’s judgment by requesting a new trial in a higher court. This demand is typically made when a defendant believes the lower court’s ruling was unfair or incorrect. There are two types of New York Demand for Trial De Novo: voluntary and involuntary. A voluntary New York Demand for Trial De Novo is when a defendant initiates the process themselves by submitting a written demand within 30 days of the lower court’s ruling. The demand must include the defendant’s reasons for requesting the new trial. An involuntary New York Demand for Trial De Novo is when the higher court orders a new trial in response to a motion by either the defendant or the plaintiff, such as a motion for a new trial, motion to set aside the judgment, or motion for a reargument. In these cases, the higher court has the final say in whether the new trial will be granted. In either case, the higher court will decide whether the lower court’s ruling was correct or not and make a decision based on the evidence presented. If the higher court agrees with the defendant that the lower court’s ruling was incorrect, they will grant the defendant’s New York Demand for Trial De Novo and order a new trial.
