New York Court of Appeals November 21, 1985 (Maross Construction, Inc. v. Central New York Regional Transportation Authority)

OPINION OF THE COURT

Jasen, J.

The issue dispositive of this appeal is whether a broad arbitration clause in a public construction contract which empowers the architect to resolve all contractual disputes submitted by the parties binds those parties to the architect’s *343determination, notwithstanding a provision in the contract with which the determination conflicts.
