New York Court of Appeals
In the Matter of Cortlandt Nursing Home v. David Axelrod, as Commissioner of Health of the State of New York…
October 17, 198566 N.Y.2d 169
Summary
The Court held that a three‑year administrative delay in the Cortlandt case was not unreasonable under the State Administrative Procedure Act, reversed the Appellate Division’s order and converted the proceeding to a declaratory judgment; it modified the Highland and King Street orders to compel the Department of Health to hold hearings, and affirmed the Broadacres order and the certified question.
