New York Court of Appeals

In the Matter of the Arbitration between Allcity Insurance Company, and Sergio Jimenez

October 17, 199178 N.Y.2d 1054

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals affirmed the Appellate Division's order staying arbitration, holding that Allcity Insurance's disclaimer of liability was timely under Insurance Law § 3420(d) and therefore the appellant's failure to provide a sworn statement did not defeat coverage. The Court declined to answer the certified question.
