Cushman & Wakefield cut 'quality control' corners for Donald Trump, a Manhattan judge ruled Thursday.

A Manhattan judge found that the appraisal giant did not always follow its own internal quality control practices.

The judge wrote that the court had reviewed numerous documents in camera and that it had concluded that C&W was not consistent in adhering to its internal quality control practices.

The rebuke is an aside at the end of the court order. The order requires C&W to turn over additional appraisals to the New York Attorney General.

The firm has until May 27 to turn over appraisals for other properties, not only for Trump properties.

On Monday, the judge in the New York State Supreme Court ruled that C&W must comply with the subpoena.

The AG has an interest in determining if there was a pattern and practice of failing to adhere to its internal quality control practices at C&W.

C&W fought the expanded subpoena, saying it could potentially require them to turn over thousands of appraisals for clients whose confidentiality rights would be compromised.

The additional appraisals James wants are relevant to the AG's Trump probe.

The judge wrote that the James office has satisfied its burden of demonstrating that the materials sought from C&W are not irrelevant to the inquiry.

It is germane to an inquiry into choices related to key appraisal variables, whether the same appraisers made similar or different choices for other clients in comparable circumstances.

The judge said that the assumptions for the rate of inflation should be the same, even though appraisals of adjacent buildings on the same date will be completely different.

James wants to know how much Trump valued his properties over the past decade. She has alleged in court documents that he overstated valuations when he wanted to use the asset as a loan collateral, and minimized some of the same valuations to lower his real estate taxes.

Many of the appraisals were done by C&W, including for the Trump family's Westchester County estate, Seven Springs, the Trump National Golf Club near Los Angeles, and the skyscraper at 40 Wall Street in Manhattan.

C&W has denied wrongdoing, saying in a statement earlier this week that any suggestion that it has not responded in good faith to the attorney general's investigation is fundamentally untrue.

The statement continued, "We stand behind our work."
