Kamyr, Inc. v. Combustion Engineering, Inc.

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, First Department

161 A.D.2d 233 (N.Y. App. Div. 1990)

Opinion

May 3, 1990

Appeal from the Supreme Court, New York County (Harold Tompkins, J.).


Evidentiary material at an arbitration proceeding is not immune from disclosure (Milone v. General Motors Corp., 84 A.D.2d 921). There is an indication in the record that defendants may be taking positions in the arbitration proceeding inconsistent with the position they are jointly asserting in defense of the instant litigation. We think that "possibility" is enough to justify disclosure of the requested documents (see, Allen v Crowell-Collier Publ. Co., 21 N.Y.2d 403, 407).
