Seymour Gottlieb, Respondent-Appellant v. Kenneth D. Laub & Company, Inc., Appellant-Respondent

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals held that Labor Law §198(1‑a) attorney‑fees remedy is limited to wage claims based on substantive provisions of article 6, so the plaintiff was not entitled to fees; it also reversed the Appellate Division's grant of leave to appeal on a certified question, finding the lower court lacked authority.
