In the Matter of Yoga Vida NYC, Inc., Appellant. Commissioner of Labor, Respondent

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals reversed the Appellate Division and held that the Unemployment Insurance Appeal Board's determination that Yoga Vida NYC's non‑staff instructors were employees was not supported by substantial evidence. The court remanded for further proceedings consistent with this memorandum. Justice Fahey dissented, arguing the Board's finding was supported by substantial evidence.
