A suit filed late last year by two subsidiaries of Chartis, Inc. against their reinsurer, Transport Insurance Co, was recently settled and dismissed. The underlying complaint alleged that Transport failed to reinsure in excess of $4.5 million in connection with asbestos claims paid under commercial umbrella liability policies. The parties filed a stipulation of dismissal on October 11, 2011 and an order dismissing the case was entered two days later. Insurance Co. of the State of Pennsylvania v. Transport Ins. Co., Case No. 2:10-cv-09830 (USDC C.D. Cal. Oct. 13, 2011).
