Insurance Law Alert, June 2011
This Alert addresses decisions relating to the reimbursement of defense and settlement costs, interpretation of a “lot or batch” provision and an anti-assignment clause, and the applicability of pollution exclusions to drywall-related claims. It also discusses emerging statutory law relating to coverage for faulty workmanship under general liability policies, and interpretation of the Class Action Fairness Act. This month, we also summarize recent rulings relating to the allocation of authority between courts and arbitration panels, and the recovery of e-discovery costs under federal statutory law. We hope you will continue to turn to the Alert for the latest developments in insurance and reinsurance law.
