New York Court of Appeals

Doctors Council v. New York City Employees' Retirement System

May 31, 198871 N.Y.2d 669

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals held that the Administrative Code's plain language grants NYCERS membership to part‑time doctors, reversing the Appellate Division and granting summary judgment to the plaintiffs. The Court emphasized that where a statute is clear, extrinsic aids and agency constructions are irrelevant.
