In the Matter of Carlisle Simpson v. Oleh M. Wolansky, as Director of Letchworth Village

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals affirmed the Appellate Division's order remanding the Director's termination decision, holding that an administrative agency may not base an adjudicatory decision on evidence outside the hearing record. The Court emphasized that the Director must rely solely on substantial evidence contained in the record, even though hearing‑officer findings are not conclusive.
