Description

This appeal presents a question of statutory construction which we have not addressed: whether a person aggrieved by a discriminatory practice in violation of the Human Rights Law may recover punitive damages in a court action brought pursuant to Executive Law ? 297 (9). Based on our analysis of the statutory language and the relevant legislative history, we conclude that such damages are not recoverable.
