Numerous Core Issues Discussed in Complicated Case Stemming from Mold in a Complex of Apartments Which Necessitated Termination of All the Leases

In perhaps the most complicated decision this writer has ever read, the Second Department reversed many of Supreme Court’s rulings and sorted out the defense and indemnification responsibilities for an astounding array of insurance companies.  The lawsuits arose from the intrusion of water and mold into a complex of rental apartments causing the termination of all the leases. The general contractor and a large number of subcontractors all had insurance policies issued by many different companies. Among the issues addressed: (1) “[C]ontract language that merely requires the purchase of insurance will not be read as also requiring that a contracting party be named as an additional insured”…; (2) Whether damage from water intrusion and mold is an “occurrence” within the meaning of the policy-language; (3) Whether the law of the insured’s domicile should apply; (4) The use of extrinsic evidence to determine an insurer’s duty to defend; and (5) Disclaimer based upon late notice.  QBE Ins Corp v Adjo Contr Corp, 2013 NY Slip Op 08238, 2nd Dept 12-11-13
