American Home Assur. Co. v. Starr Tech. Risks Agency, Inc

In American Home Assur. Co. v. Starr Tech. Risks Agency, Inc., 11 Misc. 3d 1051[A] 2006 NY Slip Op 50169[U], 5 [Sup Ct, New York County 2006 Cahn, J.] the petitioner sought an injunction barring the respondent from entering into a reinsurance agreement on petitioner's behalf (2006 NY Slip Op at 5-6). The court held that, under the circumstances of the case, the respondent opposing injunctive relief would not suffer as much harm from injunctive relief as the petitioner would suffer from the absence of the same (id.). While the respondent could have continued to represent other reinsurers even if injunctive relief was granted, the petitioner would be bound by its agent's actions in the absence of injunctive relief (id.).
