Summary judgment denied against parent of reinsured

by

Guy Carpenter provided reinsurance intermediary and placement services for General Fire & Casualty. When a dispute arose as to those services, General Fire and its parent holding company sued Guy Carpenter. Guy Carpenter moved for summary judgment as to the claims of the parent, contending that it did not have a relationship with the parent. The USDC for Idaho denied the motion, finding that disputed issues of material fact existed with respect to such claims. General Fire & Casualty Co. v. Guy Carpenter & Co., Case No. 05-251 (USDC Idaho Nov. 7, 2006).
