2 later decisions quote this exact passage“"In this respect the courts below have failed to justify their reversal of the Board's decision by demonstrating that it was arbitrary or capricious, that it was a product of bad faith, or even that there was insufficient evidence before the members of the Board at the time that they made their decision. On the contrary, the facts in the record support the Board's action." 17 N.Y.2d 49 , 268 N. Y.S.2d 13, 215 N.E.2d 338 .”
