In North Star Reinsurance Corp. v. Continental Insurance Co., 604 N.Y.S.2d 510, 516 (N.Y. 1993), the court mentioned in dicta the general rule that "a common law indemnification claim arises when the party seeking indemnity... has suffered an out-of-pocket loss," but it did not even reach the applicability of the well-recognized exception stated in Harris, supra. Piccirillo v. Beltrone-Turner, 727 N.Y.S.2d 721, 724 (App.Div. 2001) did not involve a third-party claim, but rather a cross-claim of indemnity between two defendants.
