REPORT

The Committee appointed pursuant to the vote at the Convention of June 8th last, beg leave to report:

That they met and considered the existing general rules of practice, the civil praetice act (Laws 1920, chapter 925 with the amendments of 1921); the proposed court rules suggested by the joint legislative committee on the simplification of civil prac tice, as reported to the legislature in 1919; the court rules proposed by the board of statutory consolidation, and suggestions and criticisms by bar associations, judges and lawyers.

Since the meeting of the convention, September 20-21, 1920, the committee have considered later suggestions from the bar associations of the state and of the city of New York as well as proposals from members of the bar throughout the state. The committee have made changes in forty-one rules previously recommended, suggested the omission of one, and offered two new rules.

They now recommend for adoption the accompanying court rules for civil practice. as generally applicable to our different civil courts, except the court for the trial of impeachments, and the court of appeals.

In view of the differing conditions in the several surrogate courts of the state, the committee concluded that it would now be unwise to formulate general rules for the surrogate's courts.

As minor diversities also exist in the calendar practice in the different appellate divisions, it was thought preferable to leave such matters of local practice to fall under the rules by the respective appellate divisions.

The subject of arbitration, dealt with in the civil practice act (article 83), had been further enlarged by the laws of 1920, chapter 275. It has not been suggested to your committee that special rules for arbitration are required.

A table at the end of our rules indicates what use has been made of the general rules of practice now in force, and where our proposed rules treat of the same subject. The committee have also drawn rules (numbers 210-214) for the new field of declaratory judgments authorized by the civil practice act, § 473.

The American Experience Table of Mortality, adopted in rule 243 is appended, together with a table showing the present value of an immediate annuity on one dollar on a single life at five per centum interest, taken from "Inheritance Tax Calculations" by S. H. Wolfe.

The rules here reported have been read and revised in joint meeting of the committee, and embody our unanimous judgment.

Dated, May 24, 1921.
