Solar Energy Opportunities in Taiwan and Greater China

Event | 12.02.09, 12:00 AM UTC - 12:00 AM UTC

The Solar Energy Industries Association, Crowell & Moring and C&M International is sponsoring this event.

Senior executives from leading Taiwanese solar energy companies, including Dupont Taiwan and Motech--the world's eighth largest solar cell manufacturer--will be attending. These executives are part of a government and business delegation that is traveling across country to discuss partnering with US companies in areas such as technology transfer, trade, and investment. In 2008, Taiwan’s solar cell output comprised 12% of the global market and ranked fourth in the world. According to recent forecasts, PV production capacity will supply 40% of the global demand by 2010. A free trade agreement between Taiwan and China, which is expected to be signed in 2010, will significantly expand opportunities for U.S. suppliers and manufacturers in the region.

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.
