The New Jersey Supreme Court has denied a petition for certification in a case involving a woman whose $200,000 arbitration award for falling in a gym wasn't challenged in court after the club's defense attorney failed to file electronically the demand for a trial de novo or pay the $200 filing fee.
In Cuomo v. NY Sports Club, the Appellate Division decided NY Sports Club couldn't challenge a $200,000 arbitration award to plaintiff Helena Cuomo. Cuomo sued the company after tripping over an exercise bench at one of its clubs and sustaining fractures to her left wrist and elbow, torn cartilage on her left knee and herniated discs in her spine, she claimed.
