Cohn v. Royal Globe Insurance
Cohn v. Royal Globe Insurance
Opinion of the Court
Memorandum.
The order of the Appellate Division should be affirmed, with costs.
Section 313 (subd 1, par [a]) of the Vehicle and Traffic Law provides expressly that insurance cancellation notices "shall include in type of which the face shall not be smaller than twelve point a statement that proof of financial security is required to be maintained”. In light of this statutory mandate, we cannot say that the arbitrator’s determination — that this statute does not contemplate substantial compliance — is so irrational as to require vacatur of the award. (Cf. Matter of Garcia v Federal Ins. Co., 46 NY2d 1040.)
Chief Judge Cooke and Judges Jasen, Gabrielli, Jones, Wachtler, Fuchsberg and Meyer concur in memorandum.
Order affirmed.
