Risks At The Workplace: Facing New Challenges?

Event | 05.12.09, 12:00 AM UTC - 12:00 AM UTC

The purpose of the seminar is to help you, after a short recapitulation of the applicable rules and principles and recent case law, understand better what is at stake and what are the risks for employers as a result of the growth of the legislative and regulatory framework aiming at safeguarding the principle of equality of employees, strengthening their protection against an all too significant interference by the employer in their private life and guaranteeing in a better way the physical and moral integrity of the employee at the workplace.

The seminar will be spread over two days and can be divided into three parts:

  • Part 1 - Harassement
  • Part 2 - Discrimination
  • Part 3 - Privacy & Data Protection

Speakers: Emmanuel Plasschaert and Frederik Van Remoortel, counsels at Crowell & Moring LLP

Language: Dutch/French

The seminar is free of any charges - lunch will be provided.

Registrations can be made by email to pvanruckelen@crowell.com.

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.
