Court of Appeals of New York

In an insurance suit arising out of the catastrophic collapse of a tower crane in Manhattan, seeking a declaration of no coverage and asserting numerous causes of action, the following certified question is answered in the negative: "Was the order of the Supreme Court, as modified by this Court, properly made?", where there are material issues of fact as to:1) whether the high-rise building under construction was residential or "mixed-use"; and 2) the causes of action related to crane operator's alleged false statements to underwriters.
