FASB Finalizes Its Decisions on Rerunning Leveraged Leases

ALM Staff & Law Journal Newsletters

The Board affirmed its tentative conclusions that a change in timing of the realization of tax benefits should require a recalculation of the leveraged lease and a re-evaluation of the classification of the leveraged lease.

Come 'Hell or High Water' NorVergence Causing a Stir over Documentation

New York: Moving to a 'Prejudice' Standard for Late Notice? Image

New York: Moving to a 'Prejudice' Standard for Late Notice?

Lynn K. Neuner

New York has long been known as a state in which a direct liability insurer need not prove prejudice in order to prevail on a defense that the policyholder provided late notice of an occurrence or a claim. New York ranks among the minority of states following the "no prejudice" rule. According to Ostrager, Barry R. and Newman, Thomas R.: Handbook on Insurance Coverage Disputes, approximately 80% of the states require a liability insurer to prove prejudice to prevail on the late notice defense, while the remainder either follow a straight "no prejudice" rule or adopt different rules for different types of insurance policies.

  • Artist Challenges Copyright Office Refusal to Register Award-Winning AI-Assisted Work
    Copyright law has long struggled to keep pace with advances in technology, and the debate around the copyrightability of AI-assisted works is no exception. At issue is the human authorship requirement: the principle that a work must have a human author to be eligible for copyright protection. While the Copyright Office has previously cited this "bedrock requirement of copyright" to reject registrations, recent decisions have focused on the role of human authorship in the context of AI.
