2020Although the defendant's contention is partially unpreserved for appellate review, we review the contention in the exercise of our interest of justice jurisdiction ( see CPL 470.15[6][a]; People v Fletcher , 166 AD3d 796 , 797; People v Velez , 131 AD3d 129, 133 ; People v Feuer , 11 AD3d 633, 634 ). " This Court has held that, in a case involving a claim of self-defense, it is error for the trial court not to instruct the jurors that, if they find the defendant not guilty of a greater charge on the basis of justification, they were not to consider any lesser counts'" ( People v Braithwaite ,

Livingston v. Blumenthalgreen

1988More than 50 years ago, this court unanimously stated, in Livingston v Blumenthal ( 248 App Div 138, 140 [1st Dept 1936]), which was a case involving a claim to recover the reasonable value of legal fees, that "We believe it is appropriate in a case such as this where damages are unliquidated and where the right to a jury trial of the action had not been waived, to direct the assessment of damages by a court and jury”.

1988The decision in Livingston v Blumenthal (supra) is based upon an application of Civil Practice Act § 425, which section is the source of the present CPLR 4101, mentioned supra. As discussed supra, the plaintiff initially made a demand for a jury trial, and then when plaintiff attempted to withdraw that demand, defendant opposed.
