COURT OF CLAIMS DID NOT HAVE SUBJECT MATTER JURISDICTION OVER A WORKERS’ COMPENSATION ISSUE, REVIEW OF AN AGENCY DETERMINATION MUST BE BROUGHT AS AN ARTICLE 78 PROCEEDING (THIRD DEPT).

The Third Department determined the Court of Claims did not have subject matter jurisdiction over review of an agency determination, which must be brought as an Article 78 action:

At issue is whether the Court of Claims has subject matter jurisdiction over the action. While claimant seeks significant financial relief, the core of its claim challenges defendant’s determination to classify the therapists as employees for purposes of calculating the premium due under the workers’ compensation policy. This is a threshold agency determination that the Court of Claims lacks subject matter jurisdiction to address … . … Such agency determinations are subject to review in the context of a CPLR article 78 proceeding commenced in Supreme Court, where a successful petitioner would be entitled to recover an overpayment as incidental relief (see CPLR 7806 … ). As such, claimant’s application should have been denied. Family & Educ. Consultants, LLC v New York State Ins. Fund, 2019 NY Slip Op 01273, Third Dept 2-21-19
