Article 76 - (Civil Practice Law & Rules) PROCEEDING TO ENFORCE AGREEMENT FOR DETERMINATION OF ISSUE
7601 - Special proceeding to enforce agreement that issue or controversy be determined by a person named or to be selected.
7601. Special proceeding to enforce agreement that issue or controversy be determined by a person named or to be selected. A special proceeding may be commenced to specifically enforce an agreement that a question of valuation, appraisal or other issue or controversy be determined by a person named or to be selected. The court may enforce such an agreement as if it were an arbitration agreement, in which case the proceeding shall be conducted as if brought under article seventy-five of this chapter. Where there is a defense which would require dismissal of an action for breach of the agreement, the proceeding shall be dismissed. Provided, however, that this section shall not apply to any agreement contained in the standard fire insurance policy of the state with the exception of an action to enforce the appraisal clause pursuant to section three thousand four hundred eight of the insurance law which shall not be enforced as an arbitration agreement.
