Matter of Zimbardi v Incorporated Vil. of Manorhaven
Read the official decision: 2026 NY Slip Op 05314
Holding The Appellate Division affirmed the lower court’s order granting back pay because the Village failed to demonstrate that the petitioner was in privity with parties to a prior proceeding. Consequently, the doctrines of res judicata and collateral estoppel did not bar the petitioner’s claim for back pay, entitlements, and benefits.
