Criteria for Application of Equitable Estoppel to Late Disclaimer of Coverage

The circumstances under which an insurer can be equitably estopped from making a late coverage-disclaimer were discussed by the First Department.  Equitable estoppel based on the timing of a disclaimer alone will only be invoked when the insurer has controlled the defense and the character and strategy of the defense can no longer be altered (i.e., when the matter is close to trial).  201-208 Main St Assoc Inc v Arch Ins Co, 2013 NY Slip Op 03159, 1st Dept, 5-2-13
