N.Y. Civil Practice Law & Rules § 7501: Effect of arbitration agreement

§ 7501. Effect of arbitration agreement. A written agreement to

submit any controversy thereafter arising or any existing controversy to

arbitration is enforceable without regard to the justiciable character

of the controversy and confers jurisdiction on the courts of the state

to enforce it and to enter judgment on an award. In determining any

matter arising under this article, the court shall not consider whether

the claim with respect to which arbitration is sought is tenable, or

otherwise pass upon the merits of the dispute.
