Reinsurance Law examines the intricacies of U.S. reinsurance law in the twenty-first century, giving readers a practical grasp of the purpose, benefits, markets, and costs of reinsurance; the features, operation, and risk-and-return characteristics of the full range of reinsurance products; state, federal, and international regulation of reinsurance; and a full understanding of resolving disputes in the industry.

This practical treatise is enhanced with time-saving checklists and numerous adaptable sample agreements and sample clauses.

Release #13 expands and updates the treatise with coverage of the latest developments in reinsurance law. Highlights of the update include the following:

• Revised Section 3:4, Reinsurer’s Obligation Regarding Supplemental Benefits Outside of the Applicable Limits of Liability, discusses the New York Court of Appeals decision in Global Reinsurance Corp. of America v. Century Indemnity Co., in which the court observed that its 2004 decision in Excess Insurance Co. v. Factory Mutual Insurance Co. did not hold that third-party defense costs under any facultative reinsurance contract are unambiguously or presumptively capped by the liability limits.
• Revised Section 6:8.4, Subpoenas, in the book’s chapter on arbitration, explains that in CVS Health Corp. v. Vividus, the Ninth Circuit found that a “plain reading of the text of Section 7 [of the Federal Arbitration Act] reveals that an arbitrator’s power to compel the production of documents is limited to production at an arbitration hearing.”

In addition, the Table of Authorities has been updated to reflect the revisions found in Release #13.
