Another party and I drafted a simple sublease agreement for commercial office space. We reviewed all terms and made adjustments. We signed the document and the other party is now wanting to amend terms after sharing it with their attorney. Am I obligated?

Since the sublease is signed by you and the tenant, that is a done deal. How you deal with the new demand is a business decision. Happy subtenant or unhappy subtenant? A subtenant who walks away? Your subtenant has an attorney. You should as well.

If you believe that the court is acting improperly, you may be able to file a complaint with the judicial conduct board or another oversight body. You might also attempt to file your appeal in a higher court, but failure to meet deadlines may be problematic.

Witness was a former employee who was fired at will and not for cause. Arbitrator based opinion solely on that knowledge and not on any presented statements that would lead one to conclude the witness held bias against their former employer.

The short answer is no. There is no law in NY that requires an employer to have an internal appeals process for disciplinary actions. Employers should establish personnel policies and practices that cover key areas of hiring, employment, discipline and termination, but it is not required.

The short answer is yes. Any and all income from any source is counted toward income.
