New York Court of Appeals

John A. Proc, Doing Business as Proc Beauty Salon v. Home Insurance Company

April 28, 196617 N.Y.2d 239

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals affirmed the dismissal, holding that the twelve‑month limitation period in the fire insurance policies runs from the date of the loss (the fire) rather than from the accrual of the cause of action, and that no waiver or estoppel barred the dismissal.
