New York Court of Appeals
Shyron Bynog, Appellants-Respondents v. Cipriani Group, Inc., Respondents-Appellants…
December 2, 20031 N.Y.3d 193
Summary
The Court held that the banquet waiters were independent contractors, not employees of the Cipriani defendants, and therefore could not recover under Labor Law §§ 196‑d, 191, or 198. The order of the Appellate Division was modified to reflect this finding and affirmed.
