THE ARBITRATORS’ AWARD IN THIS RELIGIOUS DIVORCE PROCEEDING WAS NOT INVALID BECAUSE THE ARBRITRATORS DID NOT STATE THE REASONS FOR THE AWARD, AND THE AWARD WAS NOT INDEFINITE AND NONFINAL; SUPREME COURT SHOULD NOT HAVE VACATED THE AWARD (SECOND DEPT).

The Second Department, reversing Supreme Court, determined the arbitration award should not have been vacated. The award, issued by a rabbinical tribunal in a religious divorce proceeding, required the respondent to arrange for the religious divorce (a Get) and required petitioner to accept the religious divorce. A lump sum award and maintenance of $10,000 per month was to be held in escrow until the Get is accepted. Supreme Court held the award was indefinite or nonfinal and the arbitrators failed to state the reasons for the award:

Contrary to the conclusion of the Supreme Court, the arbitrators were not required to give reasons for their arbitration award … . Further, the arbitration award did not leave the parties unable to determine their rights and obligations, resolved the controversy before the arbitrators, and did not create a new controversy; therefore, the arbitration award was not indefinite or nonfinal for purposes of CPLR 7511 … . The respondent’s obligation to pay maintenance continued because he failed to arrange for issuance of a Get and termination of the marriage—not because the terms of the arbitration award were not definite. Matter of Rokeach v Salamon, 2021 NY Slip Op 02393, Second Dept 4-21-21
