In Eagle Ins. Co. v. Singletary, 279 AD2d 56, 717 N.Y.S.2d 351 [1st Dept, 2000]), the First Department reviewed a conflict of laws question between Va Code 38.2-309 and VTL 313. The court held that "The insurance contract at issue, which was written to conform to Virginia law, was obtained in Virginia, from an insurance company doing business in Virginia, by a party . . . who represented that he was a resident of Virginia and that the insured vehicle would be principally garaged in Virginia. Applying the grouping of contacts inquiry to these facts, Virginia clearly had the most significant contacts with the parties and the contract. The fact that the insured misrepresented his residence and the place where the vehicle was to he principally garaged did not operate to give New York any legitimate contact with the contract" (Id., at 59).
