Third Thursday—C&M's May Labor & Employment Update: Affirmitave Action and OFCCP Enforcement

Event | 05.22.14, 12:00 AM UTC - 12:00 AM UTC

Please join us for the next edition of Third Thursday – Crowell & Moring’s Labor and Employment Update, a webinar series dedicated to helping our clients stay on top of developing law and emerging compliance issues.

Only five months in, 2014 has already been a very busy year for the Office of Federal Compliance Programs (OFCCP).  This month’s program will focus on recent developments in affirmative action and OFCCP enforcement initiatives. 

Our panelists will discuss:

  • Ongoing issues regarding implementation of the new VEVRAA and Section 503 regulations, which went into effect March 24, 2014
  • Recent executive orders that (1) increase minimum wage for certain government contractor employees, (2) mandate a compensation data collection tool, and (3) prohibit retaliation against government contractor employees who disclose or inquire about their compensation
  • OFCCP’s recent 5-year “moratorium” on compliance enforcement for TRICARE providers and the ongoing battle over who is a “subcontractor”

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.
