Government Employees Insurance v. Vastola

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York

Decided March 8, 2011Published

1Opinion of the Court

Contrary to the petitioner’s contention, the time within which American Transit Insurance Company provided its insured with written notice disclaiming coverage was not unreasonable as a matter of law (see First Fin. Ins. Co. v Jetco Contr. Corp., 1 NY3d 64, 68-70 [2003]; Those Certain Underwriters at Lloyds, London v Gray, 49 AD3d 1, 4 [2007]; Schoenig v North Sea Ins. Co., 28 AD3d 462 [2006]).

The petitioner’s remaining contentions are either not properly before this Court or without merit. Mastro, J.P., Skelos, Leventhal and Roman, JJ., concur.
