How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• finding that, in the context ofa property insurance contract, a general indemnification clause was constrained by a more specific provision addressing losses from fire
• rejecting an interpretation of an insurance policy because “Paragraph 4 of the Lease would be rendered meaningless if the indemnity clauses were read to encompass any and all damage to the Property, regardless of fault”
• “It is black letter contract law ‘that where there is “inconsistency between a specific provision of a contract and a general provision of a contract ... the specific provision controls.’’” (quoting Madison 52nd Corp. v. Empire Tr. Co., 208 N.Y.S.2d 466 (1960))
