(a) Application. This section shall take effect on May 3, 1999, and shall be applicable to the filing of any paper with the court in any action or proceeding commenced on or after such date.
(b) Filing of papers with the court.
(1)
Except where papers required or permitted to be filed with the court must be
filed by electronic means, such papers may be delivered to the clerk of the
court by facsimile transmission at a facsimile telephone number provided for
such purpose by the clerk. The cover sheet utilized for such facsimile
transmission shall be in a form prescribed by the Chief Administrator of the
Courts and shall indicate the nature of the paper being filed; any previously
assigned claim number; the name and address of the filing party or the party's
attorney; the telephone number of the party or attorney; the facsimile
telephone number that may receive a return facsimile transmission; and the
number of total pages, including the cover sheet, being filed. All such papers
shall comply with the requirements of CPLR 2101(a) and shall be signed and
verified as required by law. The clerk shall not be required to accept such
filing if it is more than 50 pages in length (including exhibits, but excluding
the cover sheet). Documents may be filed by facsimile transmission at any time
of the day or night; only documents received before 12 midnight on any day will
be considered to have been received as of that day.
(2) Upon receipt of papers filed
by facsimile transmission, the clerk shall stamp such papers with the date the
papers were received, and no later than the following business day, shall
transmit a copy of the first page of each paper received, containing the date
of receipt, to the filing party or attorney either by facsimile transmission or
by posting by first class mail. If any page of the papers received by the clerk
is missing or illegible, the confirmation of receipt transmitted by the clerk
shall so state, and the party or attorney forthwith shall transmit a new or
corrected page to the clerk for appropriate inclusion in the transmitted
papers. Notice shall be given by the clerk to the party or attorney that the
new or corrected page was received.
