Los Angeles (March 9, 2017) — A Michigan state judge has granted summary judgment to a policyholder against an AIG Unit holding that the AIG unit cannot recover $19 million in defense and settlement it paid on behalf of its insured, AlixPartner LLP, finding that the insured properly reported the claim to the insurer.
Defendant presents the expert report of Ty Sagalow who stated that plaintiff [insurance carrier] chose not to include any “related claims” or “related wrongful acts” provisions in the relevant policies…Since the “related claims” or “related wrongful act” language is absent from the policy, Plaintiff is unable to avoid liability…the Court grants Defendant’s [Policyholder] motion for summary disposition in its entirety…” (Decision at page 6 and 10)(March 3, 2017)
