Uniroyal, Inc. v. Home Insurance

How courts have described this case

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

• accepting parties’ stipulation that New York law applied to their insurance contracts where there was no strong public policy against applying New York law
• noting, in an Agent Orange products liability case, that New York's canon of construing insurance policies against the insurer \would seem to have special vigor when applied to a policy . . . which is by its own terms denominated a 'comprehensive general liability policy.'\
• “However, it is the Court’s role to determine the value or existence of extrinsic evidence produced by the parties.”
• “the terms of the definition of ‘occurrence’ are partly ambiguous: they identify a set of possible occurrences, but give little assistance in selecting the proper item from that set”
• “Th[e] [joint and several] approach could easily be extremely unfair to an insurer who was on the risk for a day but who then is burdened with the entire loss incurred over several years.”
• differing terms of definition of “occurrence” render term ambiguous
