In the Matter of the Arbitration Between William L. Steck, Jr., Appellant, and State Farm Insurance Company, Respondent

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals reversed the Appellate Division and denied the respondent's motion to stay arbitration. The Court held that a motion to stay arbitration filed after the 20‑day deadline under CPLR 7503(c) is barred when the parties have an arbitration agreement, and therefore the arbitration must proceed.
