Young v. Phenix Insurance Company

Court of Appeals of the State of New York
Jan 1, 1875
61 N.Y. 650 (N.Y. 1875)

Summary

In Young v. Phenix Ins. Co. (61 N.Y. 650) the complaint alleged that proofs of loss were not given within the specified time, and set forth certain facts which tended to show a waiver without, however, stating their effect, and the complaint was held good. By the plaintiff's complaint the defendant was apprised that the plaintiff claimed that he had offered to arbitrate and that the defendant had refused so to do, and thus no legal effect constituted a waiver of arbitration on defendant's part.
