Insurance Law Alert, May 2010
This month’s Alert highlights a number of significant federal court decisions affecting the landscape of insurance coverage litigation, including a United States Supreme Court decision which holds that a class action may proceed in federal court despite a specific state law to the contrary. We also report on two recent “advertising injury” decisions, a decision relating to a D&O insurer’s obligation to advance defenses costs, a New York court allocation ruling, and an “occurrence” decision that focuses on a “location of occurrences” analysis. We hope that these Alerts continue to serve as a valuable resource.
