In the Matter of Pan American World Airways, Inc., Appellants v. New York State Human Rights Appeal Board…

Summary

The Court held that the State Human Rights Appeal Board lacks jurisdiction to review a Division dismissal for administrative convenience except to determine if it is "purely arbitrary," and because the dismissal was not purely arbitrary, the Appeal Board exceeded its authority; the dismissal did not violate due process and the statute of limitations was tolled during the administrative proceeding, so the Division's dismissal stands.
