American Home Products Corp. v. Adriatic Insurance
New Jersey Superior Court Appellate Division
Decided December 11, 1995PublishedCited by 15 opinions
1Opinion of the Court
The opinion of the court was delivered by
KING, P.J.A.D.
We granted leave to appeal, R. 2:2 — 3(b); R. 2:5-6(a), on June 5, 1995 to review the order of the Law Division which declined to dismiss or stay this insurance coverage action on comity grounds, in deference to an earlier action pending in New York’s state court. We conclude that the plaintiffs have shown sufficient “special equities” to justify retention of jurisdiction over this New Jersey action. We affirm the March 20,1995 decision of the Law Division judge declining to dismiss or stay this action.
