A UK Chancery Court has held that by entering into collateral settlement agreements relating to asbestos-related personal injury claims, a party did not violate provisions of various reinsurance agreements. Curzon Insurance Limited v. Centre Reinsurance International Company, [2005] EWHC 2991 (Ch) (December 21, 2005). The Court stated that the rights of the reinsurers under the reinsurance agreements were not impaired by the settlements.
