MINEOLA – In the continuing battle over the preference of insurance companies to file petitions to stay arbitration in uninsured motorist cases in Nassau Supreme Court, despite an amended law that prohibits many of them from doing so, a State Supreme Court justice has deemed an insurer’s arguments for a Nassau venue “specious,” “disjointed” and “unjustified.”

In addition, the judge has given the insurer one last chance to explain its position before finding that its conduct is frivolous.
