New York Court of Appeals

In the Matter of William R. Pell, III v. Frank Coveney, Constituting the Board of Elections of the County of Suffolk

September 4, 197537 N.Y.2d 494

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals held that the 14‑day limitation in section 330 of the Election Law does not bar a petition for judicial review when the petitioner first learns of the Board of Elections' determination after that period, provided the petition is filed promptly thereafter. The Court reversed the Appellate Division’s dismissal and remanded for further proceedings.
