Fireman's Fund Insurance Co. that insured the film "Hide and Seek" claims the actor misrepresented his health when he wrote that he had never been diagnosed with or treated for prostate cancer.
According to court documents, De Niro was diagnosed with prostate cancer on Oct. 15, 2003, two days after he signed the medical certificate.
De Niro underwent a prostate-gland biopsy on Oct. 10, 2003.
De Niro's lawyer Robyn Crowther sid the ruling vindicates what the actor has said all along.
De Niro's diagnosis and resulting treatment delayed the movie production and Fireman's Fund paid Fox more than $1.8 million to cover the cost of the delay.
The film was released in January 2005.
