Welton Becket Associates v. LLJV Development Corp.

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, First Department
Feb 13, 1996
224 A.D.2d 268 (N.Y. App. Div. 1996)

Opinion

February 13, 1996

Appeal from the Supreme Court, New York County (Beverly Cohen, J.).


The relevant issue to be pursued at the pre-arbitration hearing is the framed issue, which is whether "various of the petitioners may be bound by the arbitration agreement by reason of being the signatory's alter egos, successors and/or assigns", as to which "a hearing, and attendant disclosure, is needed in order to determine the relevant relationships and, ultimately, the proper parties to the arbitration" ( 193 A.D.2d 478). The IAS Court properly gave law of the case effect to our prior ruling in barring petitioners' efforts to explore additional issues ( cf., Wilson v. McCarthy, 53 A.D.2d 860). Denial of leave to amend was a proper exercise of the court's discretion ( see, Branch v. Abraham Strauss Dept. Store, 220 A.D.2d 474). We have considered petitioners' remaining arguments and find them to be without merit.
