N.Y. Executive Law § 629: Judicial review

§ 629. Judicial review. 1. Within fifteen days after receipt of the

copy of the report containing the final decision of the office, the

comptroller shall, if in his judgment the award is illegal or excessive,

notify the office of his conclusion, state the reasons for that

conclusion, and provide specific recommendations for modification. Upon

receiving such notification, the office shall have fifteen days within

which to review and either modify or re-affirm its award. If after such

modification or reaffirmation the comptroller continues to adjudge the

award to be illegal or excessive, he may within fifteen days after

receipt of such modification or reaffirmation, commence a proceeding in

the appellate division of the supreme court, third department, to review

the decision of the office. Such proceeding shall be heard in a summary

manner and shall have precedence over all other civil cases in such

court. Any claimant aggrieved by a final decision of the office may

commence a proceeding to review that decision pursuant to article

seventy-eight of the civil practice law and rules.

2. Any such proceeding shall be commenced in accordance with the civil

practice law and rules.
