THE INSURER’S ACCEPTANCE OF PREMIUM PAYMENTS AFTER IT LEARNED OF THE MISREPRESENTATION ABOUT THE SPRINKLER SYSTEM WAIVED THE INSURER’S RIGHT TO RESCIND THE POLICY (SECOND DEPT).

The Second Department determined that the insurer’s (Hamilton’s) acceptance of premiums after disclaiming coverage for fire damage when it learned the building did not have a sprinkler system waived the insurer’s right to rescind the policy. The insured had indicated the building had a sprinkler system it its application for the policy:

The continued acceptance of premiums by an insurance carrier after learning of sufficient facts which allow for the rescission of the policy, constitutes a waiver of the right to rescind … . Here, … the record demonstrated, as a matter of law, that Hamilton waived its right to assert the plaintiff’s misrepresentation as a basis for rescinding the policy and disclaiming coverage by renewing the policy and accepting further premiums after it discovered the misrepresentation … . 5512 OEAAJB Corp. v Hamilton Ins. Co., 2020 NY Slip Op 07525, Second Dept 12-16-20
