New York Court of Appeals

In the Matter of Nationwide General Insurance Company v. Investors Insurance Company of America

June 9, 197537 N.Y.2d 91

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals reversed the lower courts' order staying arbitration and denied the motion to stay, holding that the dispute over reimbursement under the reinsurance treaty is arbitrable because it concerns the construction, meaning, or effect of the agreement, and a claim need not be tenable to be arbitrable.
