Claims Not Subject to Arbitration Stayed Pending Arbitration of Related Claims

On August 16, 2016, Justice Oing of the New York County Commercial Division issued a decision in Moyal v. Sullo, 2016 NY Slip Op. 31559(U), staying claims not subject to arbitration pending the arbitration of related claims, explaining:

That branch of Sulla's and Moyal's motion seeking an order from this Court staying litigation of the Circle Press-related cross claims and counterclaims pending arbitration of the V12 LLC claims is appropriate. The determination in the arbitration proceeding could have a significant effect on the outcome of the related claims, and the specter of inconsistent findings in the absence of a stay is very real. Under these circumstances, those cross claims and counterclaims that are not subject to arbitration are stayed pending final resolution of the underlying arbitration.
