Go to topNEW YORK STATE ASSEMBLY
MEMORANDUM IN SUPPORT OF LEGISLATION
submitted in accordance with Assembly Rule III, Sec 1(f)   BILL NUMBER: A7572 SPONSOR: Dinowitz
  TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the civil practice law and rules, in relation to arbitration awards in consumer and employment disputes   PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL: This bill would require arbitrators who decide consumer or employment- related disputes to set forth the basis for their awards.   SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: Section 1 would amend section 7507 of the civil practice law and rules to require arbitrators who decide consumer or employment-related disputes to set forth the basis for their awards. Section 2 sets the effective date.   JUSTIFICATION: It is well-settled that arbitrators are not required to explain or justify their awards. E.g. Colletti v. Mesh, 23 AD2d 245 (1st Dept), affd 17 NY2d 460 (1965). In recent years, there has been a proliferation of arbitration hearings in consumer and employment matters. It is particularly important for consumers and employees to know the basis for awards rendered in hearings in which they have participated. This bill does not purport to be a burden upon arbitrators. Or otherwise amelio- rate any of the benefits of arbitration, such as speed and efficiency of adjudication. Still, it is difficult, if not impossible for a losing arbitration participant to know whether any grounds exist to vacate the arbitration award pursuant to CPLR 7511 if the basis for the award remains unknown. This bill was modeled upon 11 NYCRR 65-4.5(s) which has worked well for many years in providing automobile insureds and insurers with the same basic information about arbitration awards in matters brought pursuant to Article 51 of the Insurance Law (no fault arbitrations).   PRIOR LEGISLATIVE HISTORY: 2017-2018 - A.6372 - Passed Assembly/ S.6225 - Referred to Judiciary 2015-2016 - A.10090-A - Referred to judiciary/ S.8040 - Referred to Judiciary   FISCAL IMPLICATIONS FOR STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS: None   EFFECTIVE DATE: This bill shall take effect on the one hundred eightieth day after it shall become law.

DINOWITZ, WEINSTEIN, GOTTFRIED, SEAWRIGHT -- read once and referred to the Committee on Judiciary AN ACT to amend the civil practice law and rules, in relation to arbi- tration awards in consumer and employment disputes The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem- bly, do enact as follows: 1 Section 1. Section 7507 of the civil practice law and rules, as 2 amended by chapter 952 of the laws of 1981, is amended to read as 3 follows: 4 § 7507. Award; form; time; delivery. (a) Except as provided in section 5 7508, the award shall be in writing, signed and affirmed by the arbitra- 6 tor making it within the time fixed by the agreement, or, if the time is 7 not fixed, within such time as the court orders. 8 (b) In a matter involving a consumer dispute, pursuant to section 9 three hundred ninety-nine-c of the general business law, or an employ- 10 ment dispute between an employer and employee, as defined in section 11 three of the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 (29 U.S.C. § 203), where 12 arbitration was held pursuant to a contract, the award shall state the 13 issues in dispute and shall contain the arbitrator's findings of fact 14 and conclusions of law.

The provisions of this subdivision 16 shall not apply to agreements negotiated with any labor union through 17 collective bargaining. 18 (c) The parties may in writing extend the time either before or after 19 its expiration. A party waives the objection that an award was not made 20 within the time required unless he or she notifies the arbitrator in 21 writing of his or her objection prior to the delivery of the award to 22 him or her. 23 (d) The arbitrator shall deliver a copy of the award to each party in 24 the manner provided in the agreement, or, if no provision is so made, 25 personally or by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested. 26 § 2.
