Which statute governs practice in New York courts?

• A. Uniform Vendor & Purchaser Risk Act
• B. CPLR
• C. NY VTL
• D. DRL

Answer: (B)

The main idea tested is which statute sets the procedural framework for civil cases in New York courts. The Civil Practice Law and Rules (CPLR) is the governing statute, outlining how civil actions are started and prosecuted, including service of process, pleadings, motions, discovery, trials, and appeals. The other statutes fall outside general court procedure: Uniform Vendor & Purchaser Risk Act deals with risk of loss in sales contracts, Vehicle and Traffic Law covers traffic offenses, and Domestic Relations Law governs family law matters. So, the Civil Practice Law and Rules is the correct choice.
