Hartley v. Paul Props

In Hartley v. Paul Props. (88 Misc 2d 205 [Binghamton City Ct 1976]), the City Court determined that where additional damages accrued under a contract subsequent to the commencement of the action, a second action for those later-accrued damages could not result in a recovery which would bring the total recovered to more than the jurisdictional limit of the court in which both actions had been commenced.
