The Second Department determined an arbitration award had to be vacated because the proceedings were held on a Sunday in violation of the Judiciary Law:
Since the arbitration hearing was conducted on a Sunday in violation of Judiciary Law § 5, which “expresses the public policy of the State, and cannot be waived,” the arbitration award is illegal and void … . Accordingly, the award is vacated and the proceeding is dismissed. Matter of Leifer v Gross, 2016 NY Slip Op 04715, 2nd Dept 6-15-16
