Essex County v. Zagata green
ny · 1998
2 sentences

2016As the Court has recognized, the ripeness doctrine is closely related to the finality requirement, and in order for an administrative determination to be final, and thus justiciable, it must be ripe for judicial review (Matter of Essex County, 91 NY2d at 453-454 , 454 n).

2003The considerations applied to the finality analysis in Essex County also apply to a ripeness analysis (see Essex County, 91 NY2d at 454 n). .
