A court recently confirmed an arbitration award against AXA Re in a reinsurance dispute involving reinsurance contracts entered into by predecessor companies in the 1970s. Details on the underlying arbitration are not available, as the petitioners’ filing was sealed by court order in accordance with a confidentiality agreement entered into by the parties in the arbitration. AXA Re did not oppose the petition nor appear in the court action, which was filed pursuant to the New York Convention. ACE Property & Casualty Insurance Co. v. AXA Re, Case No. 1:11-cv-07050 (USDC S.D.N.Y. Jan. 9, 2012).
