Knoweles v. International Fur. Rental of New York

3 Citing cases

  1. Jarvis v. Regdos

    147 Misc. 2d 1088 (N.Y. Cnty. Ct. 1990)   Cited 1 times

    The purpose of the Legislature in establishing small claims parts of court has been to provide "a simplified and informal procedure to adjudicate such claims" (Knoweles v International Furniture Rental, 87 Misc.2d 326, 327), and a small claims court "is not bound by statutory rules of practice, procedure, pleading or evidence (UCCA, ยง 1804; Buonomo v Stalker, 40 A.D.2d 733) " (Harding v New York State Teamsters Council Welfare Trust Fund, 60 A.D.2d 975, 975-976). The voluntary arbitration procedures established for small claims simplify the practice still further.

  2. Webster v. Farmer

    135 Misc. 2d 12 (N.Y. City Ct. 1987)   Cited 3 times

    In Knoweles v International Furniture Rental ( 87 Misc.2d 326 [Civ Ct, N Y County 1976]) a small claims arbitrator rendered a decision. After doing so, later that evening, he gave the matter some more thought and believed that he had been in error.

  3. Molloy v. Froyton

    119 Misc. 2d 1058 (N.Y. City Ct. 1983)   Cited 1 times

    Therefore, I conclude that the consent to arbitrate agreement does not, and cannot be a limitation on either the court's or the arbitrator's power, at least to the extent of allowing reconsideration by the arbitrator to correct error. See Knoweles v International Furniture Rental of N.Y. ( 87 Misc.2d 326) with which I agree. Accordingly, judgment has been entered in the amount of $855 plus costs and the prior judgment has been vacated.
