Insurance Law Alert, April 2012
This Alert addresses decisions relating to an insurer’s late notice defense, the scope of absolute pollution and contractual liability exclusions, and the definition of “occurrence.” We also discuss rulings regarding a broker’s disclosure obligations and the right of a subrogated insurer to enforce an arbitration clause. In addition, we summarize cases relating to attorney-client privilege and work-product protection, and the availability of consequential damages for a breach of the duty to defend. Finally, we highlight a reinsurance ruling and a recent U.K. Supreme Court trigger decision. We hope you will continue to turn to the Alert for the latest developments in insurance and reinsurance law.
