Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton claims it lost more than $3 million in business income as a result of Superstorm Sandy and is asking a Manhattan Supreme Court judge to force its insurance company to pay up.

“Rather than make good on its obligations to its insureds, the insurer has adopted an untenable reading of the policy to disclaim coverage for the insured’s resulting loss of business income,” Cleary said in its motion for partial summary judgment in a suit filed in November.
