October 25, 201628 N.Y.3d 1013

Summary

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