§  3002.  Actions  and relief not barred for inconsistency. (a) Action against several persons. Where causes of action  exist  against  several persons,  the  commencement  or maintenance of an action against one, or the recovery against one of a judgment which is unsatisfied,  shall  not be  deemed  an  election  of  remedies  which bars an action against the others.  (b) Action against agent and undisclosed principal.

(c)  Action  for  conversion  and  on contract. Where causes of action exist against several persons for the conversion of  property  and  upon express  or  implied  contract,  the  commencement  or maintenance of an action against one, or the recovery against one of a judgment  which  is unsatisfied,  either  for the conversion or upon the contract, shall not be deemed an election of remedies  which  bars  an  action  against  the others either for the conversion or upon the contract.

In an action for rescission or based upon rescission the aggrieved party shall  be  allowed  to  obtain complete  relief in one action, including rescission, restitution of the benefits, if any, conferred by him as a result of the  transaction,  and damages   to   which   he   is   entitled   because  of  such  fraud  or misrepresentation;  but  such  complete   relief   shall   not   include duplication of items of recovery.  (f)  Vendee's  lien  not to depend upon form of action.

Prior   statements   in   a   pleading  shall  be  deemed  repeated  or  adopted   subsequently  in  the  same  pleading  whenever  express  repetition  or   adoption  is  unnecessary  for  a  clear  presentation of the subsequent   matters.

NY CPLR § 3017 (2021)
2021 New York Laws CVP - Civil Practice Law and Rules Article 30 - Remedies and Pleading 3017 - Demand for Relief.

Except  as  provided in section 3215, the court may grant any type of relief within its jurisdiction appropriate to the proof  whether or not demanded, imposing such terms as may be just.  (b) Declaratory judgment. In an action for a declaratory judgment, the demand  for  relief  in the complaint shall specify the rights and other legal relations on which a declaration is requested  and  state  whether further  or  consequential  relief is or could be claimed and the nature and extent of any such relief which is claimed.  (c) Personal injury or wrongful death actions. In an action to recover damages  for  personal  injuries  or  wrongful  death,  the   complaint, counterclaim,   cross-claim,  interpleader  complaint,  and  third-party complaint shall contain a prayer for general relief but shall not  state the  amount  of  damages to which the pleader deems himself entitled. If the action is brought in the supreme  court,  the  pleading  shall  also state   whether  or  not  the  amount  of  damages  sought  exceeds  the jurisdictional limits of all lower courts  which  would  otherwise  have jurisdiction.  Provided, however, that a party against whom an action to recover damages for personal injuries or wrongful death is brought,  may at  any  time  request  a  supplemental  demand  setting forth the total damages to which the pleader  deems  himself  entitled.  A  supplemental demand shall be provided by the party bringing the action within fifteen days  of the request. In the event the supplemental demand is not served within fifteen days, the court, on motion, may order that it be  served.

All other statements of a pleading  are  deemed  admitted,  except  that where  no  responsive  pleading  is  permitted they are deemed denied or avoided.  (b) Affirmative defenses. A party shall plead all matters which if not pleaded would be likely to take the adverse party by surprise  or  would raise  issues of fact not appearing on the face of a prior pleading such as arbitration and award, collateral estoppel, culpable conduct  claimed in  diminution  of damages as set forth in article fourteen-A, discharge in bankruptcy, facts showing illegality either by statute or common law, fraud, infancy or other disability  of  the  party  defending,  payment, release,  res judicata, statute of frauds, or statute of limitation.

(b)  Subject of cross-claims. A cross-claim may be any cause of action in favor of one  or  more  defendants  or  a  person  whom  a  defendant represents  against  one  or  more defendants, a person whom a defendant represents or a defendant and other persons  alleged  to  be  liable.  A cross-claim  may  include  a  claim  that  the  party against whom it is asserted is or may be liable to the cross-claimant for all or part of  a claim asserted in the action against the cross-claimant.  (c)  Counterclaim  against  trustee or nominal plaintiff. In an action brought by a trustee or in the name of a plaintiff  who  has  no  actual interest  in  the contract upon which it is founded, a claim against the plaintiff shall not be allowed as a counterclaim, but a  claim  existing against  the  person  beneficially  interested  shall  be  allowed  as a counterclaim to the extent of the plaintiff's claim, if  it  might  have been  so  allowed  in  an  action  brought  by  the  person beneficially interested.  (d)  Cause  of  action  in  counterclaim  or  cross-claim  deemed   in complaint.   A  cause  of  action  contained  in  a  counterclaim  or  a cross-claim shall be treated, as far  as  practicable,  as  if  it  were contained  in  a  complaint,  except  that  separate  process,  trial or judgment may not be had unless the court so orders. Where a person not a party is alleged to be  liable  a  summons  and  answer  containing  the counterclaim  or  cross-claim  shall be filed, whereupon he or she shall become a defendant. Service upon such a defendant shall be by serving  a summons  and  answer  containing  the  counterclaim or cross-claim.

§  3020.  Verification.  (a)  Generally. A verification is a statement under oath that the pleading is true to the knowledge of  the  deponent, except  as  to matters alleged on information and belief, and that as to those matters he believes it to be true. Unless otherwise  specified  by law,  where  a pleading is verified, each subsequent pleading shall also be verified, except the answer of an infant and except as to  matter  in the  pleading  concerning  which  the  party  would  be  privileged from testifying as a witness.    Where  the  complaint  is  not  verified,  a counterclaim,  cross-claim  or  third-party  claim  in the answer may be separately verified in the same manner and with the same effect as if it were a separate pleading.  (b) When answer must be verified. An answer shall be verified:   1. when the complaint charges the defendant with having  confessed  or suffered   a  judgment,  executed  a  conveyance,  assignment  or  other instrument, or transferred or delivered money or personal property  with intent  to hinder, delay or defraud his creditors, or with being a party or privy to such a  transaction  by  another  person  with  like  intent towards  the  creditors  of  that  person,  or  with  any fraud whatever affecting a right or the property of another; or   2. in an action against a  corporation  to  recover  damages  for  the non-payment  of  a  promissory  note  or  other evidence of debt for the absolute payment of money upon demand or at a particular time.  (c) Defense not involving the merits. A defense which does not involve the merits of the action shall be verified.  (d) By whom verification made. The verification of a pleading shall be made by the affidavit of the party, or, if two or more parties united in interest are  pleading  together,  by  at  least  one  of  them  who  is acquainted with the facts, except:   1.  if  the party is a domestic corporation, the verification shall be made by an officer thereof and shall be deemed  a  verification  by  the party;   2.  if  the  party  is  the  state, a governmental subdivision, board, commission, or agency, or a public officer in behalf of any of them, the verification may be made by any person acquainted with the facts; and   3. if the party is a foreign corporation, or  is  not  in  the  county where  the  attorney has his office, or if there are two or more parties united in interest and pleading together and  none  of  them  acquainted with  the  facts  is  within that county, or if the action or defense is founded upon a written instrument for the payment of money only which is in the possession of an agent or the attorney, or if  all  the  material allegations  of  the  pleading  are  within the personal knowledge of an agent or the attorney, the verification may be made  by  such  agent  or attorney.
