Section 199-L. Removal of certain actions and proceedings

Where  a
  proceeding is commenced to dispossess a dealer in a court which does not
  have jurisdiction to grant the relief provided in this article  and  the
  dealer  demonstrates  that  he  has a defense or counterclaim cognizable
  under this article, a court having  such  jurisdiction  may  remove  the
  action  to  itself  upon motion. Provided, however, that no such removal
  should be permitted where a federal or state court has already entered a
  final judgment on the franchise or possession issues and no  stay  order
  pending  appeal  has  been  filed  and the proceeding is being commenced
  solely for the purpose of enforcing such judgment.  No removal  provided
  for  herein  shall  serve  to extend a franchisee's time to take certain
  actions provided for under state  or  federal  law,  including  but  not
  limited  to  the  time  within which to seek injunctive relief under the
  federal petroleum marketing practices act.
