Decision Date | 10 May 2004 |
Docket Number | 2003-03189. |
Parties | NICHOLAS COLOSI ET AL., Plaintiffs, v. RATL, LLC, ET AL., Defendants and Third-Party Plaintiffs-Appellants. VANLEX STORES, INC., Third-Party Defendant-Respondent. |
Court | New York Supreme Court — Appellate Division |
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed insofar as appealed from, with costs.
Contrary to the contention of the defendants third-party plaintiffs-lessors, the Supreme Court correctly determined that the broad indemnification clause which was the basis of their contractual indemnification claim against the third-party defendant-lessee was unenforceable under General Obligations Law § 5-321. The indemnification provision was not limited to the lessee's acts or omissions, it failed to make an exception for the lessors' own negligence, and it did not limit the lessors' recovery under the lessee's indemnification obligation to insurance proceeds (see Gibson v Bally Total Fitness Corp., 1 AD3d 477 [2003]; Leone v Leewood Serv. Sta., 212 AD2d 669, 672 [1995], citing Hogeland v Sibley, Lindsay & Curr Co., 42 NY2d 153, 158-160 [1977]; cf. Jensen v Chevron Corp., 160 AD2d 767 [1990]).
