Article 78 proceedings are used to obtain which remedy?

• A. Injunction Or Declaratory Relief
• B. Discovery Of Documents
• C. Monetary Damages
• D. Bankruptcy Relief

Answer: (A)

Article 78 proceedings are the mechanism for judicial review of a government or agency decision, focusing on the validity and effect of that action rather than monetary compensation. The remedies typically sought are injunctive relief to stop or suspend enforcement of the agency’s determination and declaratory relief to determine the rights or status of the parties in relation to the decision. This makes injunctive or declaratory relief the best-fit remedy among the options, because Article 78 is not about obtaining discovery, monetary damages, or bankruptcy relief. Discovery of documents is not the goal of these petitions, damages aren’t awarded here, and bankruptcy relief isn’t within this remedy framework.
