2018Thus, because James lacked standing to bring a bad faith claim against defendant at the time he brought the Insurance Law § 3420 (a) (2) action, we conclude that the doctrine of res judicata does not bar this action ( see generally Hunter , 4 NY3d at 269 ; Summer v Marine Midland Bank , 227 AD2d 932, 934 [4th Dept 1996]), and defendant's motion insofar as it sought to dismiss the complaint pursuant to CPLR 3211 (a) (5) was properly denied.

2018We agree with the Supreme Court's denial of the defendants' cross motion for a bad faith hearing pursuant to CPLR 3408(f), inasmuch as their submissions failed to establish that the plaintiff did not negotiate in good faith ( see PNC Bank, N.A. v Campbell , 142 AD3d 1147, 1148 ; US Bank N.A. v Sarmiento , 121 AD3d 187, 203 ).

2008In McKenna, a short memorandum opinion, the Appellate Division held that an attorney’s disapproval pursuant to an attorney approval contingency “would terminate plaintiffs rights under the contract, unless said disapproval is occasioned by bad faith” ( 123 AD2d 517 , 517 [1986] [citations omitted and emphasis added]).

2004Also named as a defendant is Thomas Brace, an adjuster for the company, who now moves for dismissal of all causes of action against him.{** 3 Misc 3d at 245 } Defendant Brace quite correctly argues that all allegations made against him involved his actions as an agent and employee of Security Mutual Insurance Company.

1994(Brennan v Mead, 81 AD2d 821 [1981], affd 54 NY2d 811 .) Resolving a conflict of authority, the Court of Appeals has recently further clarified that although a bad-faith finding does not require a "heightened” showing of the insurer’s " 'sinister motive’ ” or intent to cause harm to the insured, a showing must be made that the "insurer’s conduct constituted a 'gross disregard’ of the insured’s interests — that is, a deliberate or reckless failure to place on equal footing the interests of its insured with its own interests when considering a settlement offer.” (Pavia v State Farm Mut.

1994Co. v City of Long Beach, 106 AD2d 428 [2d Dept 1984].) 1 In order to prevail on a bad-faith claim, the insured must meet a demanding standard on which it has the burden of proof.

1994In dismissing the bad-faith cause of action, the Appellate Division ( 129 AD2d 207 ) had held categorically that "a cause of action alleging a breach of the insurer’s duty of good faith will not lie where the insurer, contrary to the wishes of the insured, has settled such claim within the monetary limits of the insured’s policy.” (Supra, at 210.) Although agreeing with the Appellate Division that the bad-faith claim must be dismissed, the Court of Appeals rendered a more qualified decision, holding that "on this record” a bad-faith claim was not "stated,” as it was based wholly on the insurer

1994(See, Vermont Commr. of Banking & Ins. v Welbilt Corp., 133 AD2d 396 [2d Dept 1987].) It has long been held that a bad-faith claim may not be sustained on a showing of ordinary negligence on the part of the insurer.

1992Co. (supra), we discussed the language contained in Gordon (supra), upon which State Farm relies, and the "gross disregard” standard, as essentially complementary statements of the bad-faith principle, rather than as mutually exclusive or conflicting statements of law (Roldan v Allstate Ins.

1992Co. ( 59 NY2d 827, 830 , supra), where the Court, citing Gordon , specifically indicated that a carrier’s "gross disregard” of an insured’s rights constituted "an essential element of such cause of action” (cf., Gordon v Nationwide Mut.
