New York Court of Appeals June 17, 1997 (American Home Assurance Co. v. International Insurance)

OPINION OF THE COURT

Titone, J.

In

Unigard Sec. Ins. Co. v North Riv. Ins. Co.

(79 NY2d 576), we held that, in contrast to situations involving primary liability insurance policies, the breach of the prompt-notice provisions in a reinsurance policy is not a ground for disclaiming coverage unless the reinsurer can show that it was actually prejudiced by the delay.
