Nancy Potter Prevails with Summary Judgment in Bad Faith Action Seeking Coverage for Wrongful Termination Suit

December 15, 2006

Saving our client, US Liability, hundreds of thousands of dollars in potential indemnity and attorney fee awards, M&C associate Nancy N. Potter successfully moved for Summary Judgment in an insurance coverage matter arising out of an underlying wrongful termination case, in which some defendants claimed they should have been covered by an existing US Liability policy and sued for breach of contract, reformation of the contract and insurance bad faith. In granting our motion, Judge Lee Smalley Edmond concurred that it was never intended that these defendants would be covered by the policy, nor was our client required to provide them coverage.
