(New York University v Farkas, 121 Misc 2d 643 [Civ Ct, New York County 1983, Saxe, J.].
Since Farkas, our Courts have begun to embrace an approach that focuses on balancing the need for discovery with the speedy resolution of the case: "[T]he modern approach to discovery in eviction proceedings requires the court to determine whether the movant has established a genuine need for disclosure and whether granting disclosure will create more efficiency. If the answer to those questions is yes, then the court should grant discovery but avoid prejudice by crafting an order that limits the discovery" (Temo Realty LLC v Herrera, 82 Misc 3d 299, 301 [Civ Ct, Kings County 2023, Basu, J.]; see also 50th Street HDFC v Abdur-Rahim, 72 Misc 3d 1210[A], 2021 NY Slip Op 50693[U], *1 [Civ Ct, Kings County 2021, Weisberg, J.]).
