Opinion
March 22, 1973
Judgment, Supreme Court, New York County, entered on November 29, 1972, denying petitioner's motion for an order confirming an arbitration award, with leave to renew upon a more "probative demonstration" that the award was properly rendered, unanimously reversed, on the law, the motion granted and the arbitration award confirmed. Appellant shall recover of respondent $40 costs and disbursements of this appeal. The essential burden of respondent's opposition to confirmation is that the arbitration did not follow certain contractual procedures. Since such claim is not a statutory ground for vacating or modifying the award (CPLR 7511), the same should be confirmed (CPLR 7510; Matter of Granite Worsted Mills [ Cowen], 25 N.Y.2d 451).
