We will discuss global politics among the leading trading nations, like US-China, and US-EU, are creating instability that has eroded the rules-based trading system that we have been used to for the past 20 years with the World Trade Organization; China in particular is creating new laws that are intended to retaliate against perceived US and EU affronts to its sovereignty. These laws will potentially disrupt supply chains for manufacturing businesses as well as those that combine data with manufacturing or product development and we'll look at what companies are doing to mitigate the risks and also look for opportunities in the year ahead.

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.
