    Amendments to CPLR Impose New Insurance Disclosure Requirements on Defendants

    March 2022

    Read time: 2 min

    On Feb. 24, 2022, Gov. Kathy Hochul signed into law an amended version of the Comprehensive Insurance Disclosure Act (the Act), expanding the insurance disclosure obligations imposed on defendants in civil cases filed in New York state courts. The obligations imposed by the amended version of the Act are not as extensive as those in the version originally signed by the Governor on Dec. 31, 2021, but the Act nevertheless includes significant new insurance disclosure requirements. The new requirements have been codified at §§3101(f) and 3122-b of the CPLR and became effective immediately.

    Rakoff Caution To Jury On Media Sparks Free-Speech Debate

    Partner, Ted Diskant is quoted in this Law360 article.

    “From the government’s perspective, a strong urging from the bench that jurors should not talk about deliberations is welcome,” said Edward Diskant of McDermott Will & Emery LLP, who prosecuted basketball corruption cases in front of Judge Kaplan before moving to private practice. “To the extent they can so instruct jurors, consistent with the law, I would imagine that judges generally share the government’s perspective — very little good can come from jurors talking with the media.”
