In two prior posts (February 28 and October 1, 2007), we reported on discovery disputes in a case in which a reinsurer contended that it was not liable on trucking risks due to the improper placement of the risks by a broker. The reinsurer has now prevailed on summary judgment, having established that trucking risks could not be ceded to its reinsurance without specific permission or special acceptance, and that the broker did not seek such permission or acceptance. Scottsdale Ins. Co. v. American Re-Insurance Co., Case No. 06-16 (USDC D. Neb. May 6, 2008).
