In the Matter of Montifiore G. Kahn, Appellant National City Bank of New York, (Appeals Nos. 1 and 2.)

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals reversed the Appellate Division's affirmation that denied arbitration and dismissed the reversal of a later order granting arbitration, holding that the settlement agreement's arbitration provision was enforceable under the amended Civil Practice Act and that alleged breach of the agreement is not a condition precedent to arbitration.
