Court of Appeals of New York

In an action seeking an order of contempt for violation of a confirmed arbitral award, the appellate division's denial of defendant's motion to stay plaintiff's motion to reopen the arbitration is reversed where, after issuance of an arbitration award, a party may not seek to reopen the arbitration proceeding to request that the arbitrators consider an issue that was not previously presented to the panel.
