Description

Judgment (denominated an order), Supreme Court, New York County (Ryp, J.), entered May 20, 1982, which denied petitioners application to confirm an arbitrators award and granted the cross motion by respondent to vacate the award, and remanded the matter to the American Arbitration Association, affirmed, without costs or disbursements. We agree with the conclusion reached by Special Term that, under the circumstances of this case, the refusal of the arbitrator to grant respondents reasonable request for an adjournment constituted misconduct which justified vacatur of the award and remand of the matter to the American Arbitration Association (AAA) (International Components Corp. v Klaiber, 59 A.D.2d 853; Matter of Woodco Mfg. Corp. [ G.R. & R. Mfg.], 51 A.D.2d 631). The record reflects a history of prior adjournments and delay by both parties. Respondent had sought, first by telephone request to the AAA and, subsequently, by application to the arbitrator, to schedule the hearing during a week when Mr. Greystoke, a British citizen, would be in New York on business. Greystoke, at the time of the application, was in England. It is alleged that he was the only employee of respondent who had knowledge of the underlying dispute. His unavailability on the scheduled date of the hearing, according to respondent, necessitated the application since counsel considered Greystokes presence as indispensable in the contemplated cross-examination of petitioners key witness. Under the circumstances, we agree that the arbitrator abused his discretion in denying this reasonable request for an adjournment, which we find constituted misconduct sufficient to vacate the award under CPLR 7511 (subd [b], par 1). Although not raised directly on the appeal, since the disposition of Special Term determined the rights of the parties in this special proceeding, CPLR 411 required entry of a judgment, albeit interlocutory (Matter of Miller [ Ives ], 79 Misc. 2d 184; Matter of 1825 Realty Co. v Gabel, 44 Misc. 2d 168; Matter of Avalon East v Monaghan, 43 Misc. 2d 401; 1 Weinstein-Korn-Miller, NY Civ Prac, par 411.01). The memorandum of Special Term so directed, requiring the parties to "[settle] judgment providing that the matter be remanded to the AAA." Any application which may be necessary, in the future, to confirm, vacate or modify any award rendered, of necessity, will concern subsequent events, will require a different petition and answer than that interposed herein and may raise issues wholly distinct from those litigated in this special proceeding.
