Question Presented (from Petition)

A county court in New York invented a legal process which streamlines foreclosure by removing statutory requirements and motions. Can a court of its own interstitial rulemaking power supplant or replace the legislative scheme?

In New York, after a summons and complaint is served, a party cannot defend himself until he or the plaintiff files and pays for a Request for Judicial Intervention (RJI), regardless of the time set by the summons. Is this a permissible burden of Due Process?

Question Presented (AI Summary)

Can a court of its own interstitial rulemaking power supplant or replace the legislative scheme?
