The procedures set forth in the CPLR relative to\ndisclosure, bill of particulars and the procuring of a copy of the items\nof an account, shall govern in this court, subject to paragraph (b).\n (b) Parties and non-parties. All notices, orders, subpoenas and other\npapers relating to disclosure:\n 1. by a party, may be served in any part of the county or any\nadjoining county and shall be served by such means as would be\npermissible in the supreme court in a like instance;\n 2. by a person not a party, may be served and executed only within the\ncounty, unless the court shall find that the interests of justice\nrequire that service not be so limited, in which case the court may\npermit service as in paragraph one. Such permission may be granted only\nafter motion on notice to all adverse parties.\n (c) Protective order. The protective order provided for in CPLR § 3103\nshall be available in this court with regard to all of the foregoing,\nand shall not be limited to the disclosure devices provided in article\n31 of the CPLR.\n (d) Extra-territorial disclosure. In any case where disclosure would\nbe available in the supreme court in a like case, but is unavailable in\nthis court by virtue of any territorial limitation upon its\njurisdiction, the court may, upon motion on notice to all adverse\nparties, make an order to obtain disclosure from a source without the\ncity, county or state by the use of any device to which the supreme\ncourt might resort to obtain disclosure from a source without the state.\n
