In the Matter of FIRST MONTAUK SECURITIES CORP., Respondent v. JOSEPH G. CHIULLI, Appellant.

Ordered that the order is affirmed, with costs.

"Preemptive judicial intervention in the arbitration process is warranted where the arbitrator [can]not grant any relief without violating public policy" ( Matter of Imperial House [Local 32B-32J], 154 A.D.2d 534, 535). The decisional law clearly indicates that a discharged debtor cannot pursue a claim which it failed to disclose in its schedule of assets filed with the bankruptcy court ( see, Dynamics Corp. v. Marine Midland Bank-N.Y., 69 N.Y.2d 191; Robinson v. Wiertel Constr., 185 A.D.2d 664; In re Drexel Burnham Lambert Group, 160 B.R. 508). Here, the appellant, who failed to list his claim against the petitioner on a timely basis, is seeking to pursue that claim. Since the appellant's pursuit of his claim is against public policy, any remedy fashioned by the arbitrator would be violative of that policy. Thus, the application for a stay of arbitration was properly granted.

Bracken, J. P., Thompson, Goldstein and Lerner, JJ., concur.
