Craig Stewart (Boston) and Antony Woodhouse (London) of Edwards Angell Palmer & Dodge LLP are attending the 16th annual ABA TIPS Insurance Coverage Litigation Committee mid-year meeting in Marina Del Rey. They report that the meeting is very well attended and is currently in full flow with representatives from 31 different states, Puerto Rico, Canada and, of course, the U.K.
There is a full schedule over the next two days covering a wide variety of important coverage issues. The meeting has already had a panel discussion on the opportunities for complex coverage defense regarding EPL policies given the rise of wrongful discharge claims in a worsening economy and a detailed examination of the issues involved in allocating loss and costs associated with asbestos liability.
