Landlord-Tenant—Abuse of Process—Tenant Abused the Judicial System to Aggravate the Plaintiffs— Tenant Enjoined From Commencing Further Claims, Without Counsel, Absent Consent From An Administrative Judge Or Commissioner of An Agency

THE PLAINTIFFS HAD MOVED for summary judgment as to liability against the defendant on the plaintiffs’ claim for abuse of process. They also sought a permanent injunction enjoining the defendant from “filing any action, proceeding, motion or submission in any court, agency, commission, or tribunal within the city or state of New York against any one or more of the movants and/or their affiliates and employees relating directly or indirectly to the [subject property] without prior approval of the administrative judge of the court or of the commissioner of the agency, commission, or tribunal in which the filing is to be made, unless [the defendant] is represented by an attorney.” The court granted the plaintiffs’ motion.
