N.Y. Court of Claims Act § 24: Appeals generally

§ 24. Appeals generally. Either party may appeal from an order or

judgment of the court of claims, or of a referee to hear and determine

of such court, to the appellate division of the supreme court of the

department in which the claims relating to the orders or judgments

appealed, arose. The appeal from a judgment may be taken upon questions

of law or of fact, or both, or for an alleged excess or insufficiency of

the judgment. Upon such appeal, the court may affirm, reverse or modify

the judgment granting such award and judgment as the court of claims

should have granted, or dismiss the appeal or grant a new trial or remit

for further proceedings. The provisions of the civil practice law and

rules relating to appeals in the supreme court apply, so far as

practicable, to appeals from orders or judgments of the court of claims

or from orders of its referee, except as modified in this article.
