Crowell & Moring's David Cross will be participating in a panel discussion, Dynamic Databases, as part of the two-day conference. His session will talk about most of the cases and big news stories in electronic discovery are about e-mail. However, enterprise databases that contain critical corporate information on a wide range of issues, including detailed financial data and human resources information, are starting to receive more attention from electronic discoverers. These constantly updated and changing databases present challenging issues for electronic discovery, including how to preserve dynamic information, what to do about metadata, and the protection of proprietary software. Our panel of experienced experts will talk through the relevant case law as well as the practical and technical ways to handle dynamic databases effectively as part of the universe of "electronically stored information" subject to discovery.

Has the Buss Stopped? Recoupment Today

Has the Buss Stopped? Recoupment Today: In 1997, the California Supreme Court decided Buss v. Superior Court. In Buss, the court concluded that a liability insurer that defended a mixed action could seek reimbursement from the insured for the defense costs associated with the claims that were not even potentially covered. Since then, numerous courts have held that insurers are entitled to recoup their defense costs associated with uncovered claims or causes of action. On the other hand, a significant number of courts have rejected insurers’ right to recoupment, at least in the absence of a policy provision granting the insurer that right. Some commentators have even suggested that the current judicial trend might be away from permitting insurers to recoup their defense costs. Is that correct? Has the Buss stopped? This panel of coverage experts will analyze insurers’ claimed right to recoupment today, and offer their perspectives on what the law on recoupment should perhaps be and might be in the future.
