Third Thursday--C&M's November Labor & Employment Update: Mandatory Arbitration

Event | 11.21.13, 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, emerging compliance issues, and best practices.

The subject of this month's program will be the complex world of mandatory arbitration of employment disputes and the persistent legal challenges facing many employers who have instituted such policies. Even though there have been several recent Supreme Court decisions that favor employers in this area, there are still many open legal questions. Our panel will discuss the on-going difficulties in instituting and administering mandatory arbitration policies, and they will challenge some of the common assumptions underlying mandatory arbitration programs.

The webinar is scheduled for Thursday, November 21 at 12:00 pm eastern time. We hope you can join us for this timely and lively discussion.

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.
