On August 24, 2010, we reported that Folksamerica Reinsurance (n/k/a White Mountains Reinsurance) had been given 60 days to perfect service against Constructora Del Litoral in an action arising out of Constructora’s alleged failure to indemnify Folksamerica for sums paid in connection with reinsuring surety bonds issued for a construction project in Ecuador. In the latest development, the parties agreed to a joint stipulation of dismissal of the action with prejudice, although Folksamerica will not be precluded from pursuing claims against the defendants in Ecuador. The district court entered an order dismissing the case on February 25, 2011. Folksamerica Reinsurance Co. v. Constructora Del Litoral, S.A., Case No. 10-20560 (S.D. Fla. Feb. 25, 2011).
