Summary

The New York Court of Appeals reversed the Appellate Division’s order staying arbitration and reinstated the lower court’s judgment ordering arbitration, holding that a stay on public‑policy grounds is improper unless the policy absolutely prohibits arbitrators from deciding the issue, and that a grievance’s informal‑discussion requirement is not a condition precedent to arbitration.
