New York Court of Appeals

Nassau Insurance Company, Appellant v. Diane M. Murray, Respondents; In the Matter of Empire Mutual…

December 27, 197846 N.Y.2d 828

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals affirmed the Appellate Division orders, holding that when an insurer's regular office practice shows cancellation notices were properly addressed and mailed, a presumption arises that the insured received them. A mere denial of receipt is insufficient to rebut that presumption without showing the insurer failed to follow its routine practice.
