Full title: MAX BAYROFF CORP., Respondent, v. SHOWPLACE BOWLING CENTER, INC., Appellant

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

Date published: Nov 5, 1992

187 A.D.2d 269 (N.Y. App. Div. 1992)

589 N.Y.S.2d 428

Opinion

November 5, 1992

Appeal from the Supreme Court, New York County (Walter Schackman, J.).

Parties may appropriately place the issue of jurisdiction before the arbitrator (Matter of Kelley [Bauer], 240 N.Y. 74, 79), and the merits of the arbitrator's determination are subject only to limited judicial review (Integrated Sales v Maxell Corp., 94 A.D.2d 221). In any event, respondent did not timely move to stay arbitration and thus waived the issue of jurisdiction (see, CPLR 7503; Matter of Sussco Exterior Sys. v Hercules Constr. Corp., 120 A.D.2d 532, 533, lv denied 68 N.Y.2d 610).
