629 - Judicial review.

 
    § 629. Judicial  review.  1.  Within fifteen days after receipt of the
  copy of the report containing the final  decision  of  the  office,  the
  comptroller shall, if in his judgment the award is illegal or excessive,
  notify  the  office  of  his  conclusion,  state  the  reasons  for that
  conclusion, and provide specific recommendations for modification.  Upon
  receiving  such  notification, the office shall have fifteen days within
  which to review and either modify or re-affirm its award. If after  such
  modification  or  reaffirmation the comptroller continues to adjudge the
  award to be illegal or excessive,  he  may  within  fifteen  days  after
  receipt  of such modification or reaffirmation, commence a proceeding in
  the appellate division of the supreme court, third department, to review
  the decision of the office. Such proceeding shall be heard in a  summary
  manner  and  shall  have  precedence  over all other civil cases in such
  court. Any claimant aggrieved by a final  decision  of  the  office  may
  commence  a  proceeding  to  review  that  decision  pursuant to article
  seventy-eight of the civil practice law and rules.
    2. Any such proceeding shall be commenced in accordance with the civil
  practice law and rules.
