ToggleUnderstanding Waivers Under New York Law
A waiver is not an automatic right but a discretionary grant from an authority like a judge or agency. Success depends on proving that the standard rule creates an undue hardship and that granting the waiver serves justice. The specific legal standards are found in statutes like the New York Civil Practice Law and Rules (CPLR) and various state agency regulations.
