In Matter of Hellman v. Ploss (46 A.D.2d 658 [2d Dept 1974], the respondent sought to recover supplemental weekly unemployment benefits. In reversing the lower court, the Appellate Division's majority stated that the relief sought by respondent was a declaration of his rights as a purported beneficiary of a trust. Although on the face of the action the respondent sought a sum of money, the essential element of his claim in seeking to enforce a trust was equitable in nature and beyond the jurisdiction of the Civil Court.
