Insurance Law Alert, October 2013
This Alert discusses a recent federal court decision halting reinsurance arbitration on the basis of potential arbitrator partiality. In addition, we summarize decisions relating to a policyholder’s breach of a “no voluntary payment” provision and the scope of general liability coverage for asbestos and construction defect claims. We also report on rulings relating to coverage for Madoff-related losses, D&O coverage for government investigative measures and an insurer’s right to seek contribution for defense costs from a settling insurer, among others.
