COUNTRY WIDE INSURANCE COMPANY v. YAO JIAN PING (2019)

Supreme Court, Appellate Term, New York,

COUNTRY-WIDE INSURANCE COMPANY, Plaintiff-Respondent, v. YAO JIAN PING, Defendant-Appellant.

570448 /18

Decided: February 13, 2019

PRESENT: Ling-Cohan, J.P., Gonzalez, Cooper, JJ.

Order (Mary V. Rosado), dated June 13, 2018, affirmed, with $ 10 costs.

This action, seeking a de novo adjudication of a no-fault insurance claim following a master arbitrator's award in excess of $ 5,000 (see Insurance Law § 5106[c] ), was properly commenced in Civil Court, since the amount in dispute did not exceed $ 25,000 (see CCA 212-a; Imperium Ins. Co. v. Innovative Chiropractic Servs., P.C., 43 Misc 3d 137[A], 2014 NY Slip Op. 50697[U] [App Term, 1st Dept 2014]; Brooks v. Rivera, 40 Misc 3d 133[A], 2013 NY Slip Op. 51191[U] [App Term, 1st Dept 2013] ).

In light of our disposition, defendant's remaining argument has been rendered academic.
