2 sentences

2004Under the doctrine of equitable recoupment, the matter pleaded therein, which relates to the transactions and occurrences pleaded by petitioner, may be utilized by respondent to defend against and offset any liability that respondent otherwise might incur on petitioner’s claims, irrespective of whether the counterclaim is itself time-barred (see CPLR 203 [d]; see also Matter of SCM Corp. [Fisher Park Lane Co.], 40 NY2d 788, 791-792 [1976]; Town of Amherst v County of Erie, 247 AD2d 869, 869-870 [1998]).

1995However, for the doctrine to apply, the defendant’s counterclaim or affirmative defense must arise out of the same transaction or series of transactions that form the basis of, and must be sufficiently related to, the causes of action alleged in the plaintiff’s complaint (see, Matter of SCM Corp. [Fisher Park Lane Co.], 40 NY2d 788, 791 ).
