FDLI - Enforcement and Litigation Conference: Enforcement in a Post-Wyeth, New Administration World

Event | 10.13.09 - 10.14.09, 12:00 AM UTC - 12:00 AM UTC

FDA Commissioner Dr. Margaret Hamburg delivered a key policy speech at FDLI on August 6, 2009. She promised a more aggressive posture with respect to enforcement and provided insight into those areas where FDA would focus. The FDLI Enforcement Conference is the single best source for understanding where FDA and other enforcement officials are planning to focus. No other conference brings together more government officials to speak about enforcement, and this year, more than ever, you cannot afford to miss what they have to say.

Not only is there likely to be more FDA heat for industry with Commissioner Hamburg at the helm, there is sure to be a surge in whistleblower cases, major criminal investigations, and increasing state prosecutor attention to pharmaceutical and medical device manufacturers and distributors. So, if you think you know FDA enforcement, think again. The laws and the enforcers have changed.

Steven Niedelman is one of the speakers at this event.

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.
