Are there special requirements for perfecting cross appeals and concurrent appeals?
A cross appeal is an appeal taken by a party whose interests are adverse to a party who previously appealed from the same order or judgment. Concurrent appeals are those appeals that are separately taken from the same order or judgment by parties whose interests are not adverse to one another but rather to those of another party (22 NYCRR 670.2[a][6]). The court’s policy is to require that all appeals from the same order or judgment be heard at the same time before the same panel of Justices. Accordingly, the rules require that the appealing parties consult and file a joint record or joint appendix which shall include copies of all notices of appeal (22 NYCRR 670.8[c][1]).
