New York Court of Appeals

In the Matter of the Arbitration Between Theodore De Luca, Respondent, and Motor Vehicle Accident Indemnification…

February 24, 196617 N.Y.2d 76

Summary

The Court affirmed that the six‑year contract statute of limitations governs arbitration claims against the Motor Vehicle Accident Indemnification Corporation, rejecting the argument that the three‑year tort limitation applies. The decision rests on a construction of the policy endorsement and the statutory framework, and it notes a dissent arguing the opposite based on legislative intent.
