New York Court of Appeals
Thomas Crimmins Contracting Co., Inc., and Cayuga Construction Co., a Joint Venture, Respondent v. City of New York…
July 13, 198974 N.Y.2d 166
Summary
The Court affirmed the Appellate Division, holding that Article 24 of the construction contract is not an explicit, unequivocal alternate dispute resolution provision that binds the contractor to the chief engineer’s legal determinations, and therefore the City’s motion to amend its answer was properly denied.
