this case be assigned to the Commercial Division.

disbursements, and counsel fees claimed) are equal to or in excess of the monetary threshold of
the Commercial Division in this county as set out in Subdivision (a) of said Section, or equitable
or declaratory relief is sought, in that the amended complaint seeks declaratory relief and asserts
damages in excess of $15,000,000 exclusive of punitive damages, interest, costs, disbursements

and counsel fees claimed.
(3) This case falls within the standards set out in Subdivision (b) of the Section and
does not come within the groups of cases set out in Subdivision (c) that wil not be heard in the
Commercial Division.
