Judge Enjoins Pending, Future Arbitration Proceedings Over No-Fault Claims

(December 13, 2018, 11:15 AM EST) -- NEW YORK — A federal judge in New York on Nov. 16 granted a request by the Government Employees Insurance Co. (GEICO) and its affiliates to enjoin pending and future arbitration proceedings brought by an acupuncturist, a clinic administrator and a couple accusing the insurer of failing to pay claims submitted under New York’s No-Fault Insurance Law, finding that any rulings against the insurer during the pendency of its declaratory judgment suit would result in undue harm (Government Employees Insurance Co., et al. v. Igor Mayzenberg, et al., No. 17-cv-2802, E.D. N.Y., 2018 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 195890)....
