v
Singh PT, PLLC et al., Defendants-Respondents.
Rubin, Fiorella, Friedman & Mercante LLP, New York (Vitaly Vilenchik of counsel), for appellants.
Order, Supreme Court, New York County (Barbara Jaffe, J.), entered on or about January 15, 2021, which, to the extent appealed from as limited by the briefs, denied plaintiffs' motion for a default judgment, unanimously reversed, on the law, without costs, and the motion granted. The Clerk is directed to enter judgment accordingly.
Defendants Max Bordes, Louis Rubens, and Cierra Smith were allegedly injured in a car accident involving a car that was self-insured by plaintiff PV Holding Corp., a holding company consisting of self-insured rental car companies and their affiliates (collectively, Avis). On plaintiff PV Holding Corp.'s motion for a default judgment, Avis established that it made a timely request for these defendants to appear for examinations under oath, and that they failed to do so. Supreme Court granted the motion on default. Thus, Avis established that there was a breach of a condition precedent to coverage under the applicable insurance policy, and the policy is void ab
initio (see Unitrin Advantage Ins. Co. v Dowd, 194 AD3d 507, 508 [1st Dept 2021]; Hertz Vehicles, LLC v Alluri, 171 AD3d 432, 432 [1st Dept 2019]). THIS CONSTITUTES THE DECISION AND ORDER
OF THE SUPREME COURT, APPELLATE DIVISION, FIRST DEPARTMENT.
