CFTC Grants No Action Relief to Commodity Pool Operators with Respect to Certain Insurance-Linked Securitization Vehicles by Daphne G. Frydman, Brian Barrett, and Raymond A. Ramirez Toward the end of 2014, the staff of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission’s (“CFTC”) Division of Swap Dealer and Intermediary Oversight (“DSIO”) issued two letters affecting insurance-linked securitization vehicles: CFTC Letter No. 14-145[1] and CFTC Letter No. 14-152.[2] Both CFTC Letters 14-152 and 14-145, which are summarized below, afford relief from certain Commodity Pool Operator (“CPO”) compliance obligations. Although Letter 14-145 preceded Letter 14-152, the summary begins with Letter 14-152 because Letter 14-145 is a no-action letter that was issued to a specific (and anonymous) market participant and cannot be relied on by other market participants. In contrast, Letter 14-152 was addressed to the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association (“SIFMA”) and affords industry-wide relief from CPO registration to certain entities that engage in insurance-linked securities transactions.

Supreme Court of Texas Marries Contractual Limitations to Insurance Policies by Tom Stilwell, John English, Justin T. Scott, and J. Sean Jain In a case that has been closely watched by the oil and gas industry and its insurers, the Supreme Court of Texas recently issued its opinion in In re Deepwater Horizon, and settled the debate concerning whether a company’s insurance policies stood alone or were married to and dependent upon an insured’s limited obligation in a separate contract to insure and indemnify a third party. Specifically, the court found that Transocean’s $750 million primary and excess insurance policies did not offer unrestricted coverage to BP as an additional insured, but instead incorporated and were bound by the limitations placed on Transocean’s liability under the parties’ drilling contract (the “Drilling Contract”).

Supreme Court of New Jersey Confirms "Fairly Debatable" Standard for First Party Bad Faith; Acknowledges Relevance of Actual Investigation by Frederic J. Giordano and Robert F. Pawlowski The Supreme Court of New Jersey recently issued an important pair of decisions for policyholders with bad faith claims against their first-party insurance companies in Badiali v. New Jersey Manufacturers Insurance Group[1] and Wadeer v. New Jersey Manufacturers Insurance Company.[2] In Badiali and Wadeer, the court reiterated the narrow “fairly debatable” standard as the threshold for bad faith claims in New Jersey. But, the court also opened the door to modify this standard in the Badiali decision by recognizing the relevance of the actual claims handling in a particular case.

Pennsylvania Supreme Court Holds Policyholders May Assign Their Statutory Right to Recover Punitive Damages Arising from Insurer¹s Bad Faith by Sara N. Brown and Roberta D. Anderson In an issue of first impression, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court recently held in Allstate Prop. & Cas. Ins. Co. v. Wolfe[1] that a policyholder may assign statutory bad faith claims under Pennsylvania’s bad faith statute, Section 8371,[2] to a third party claimant. Importantly, Wolfe resolves the conflict among Pennsylvania and federal decisions regarding the assignability of the right to recover statutory bad faith damages, and allows assignees to seek punitive damages under the statute against an insurer who acts in bad faith.

New York State Department of Financial Services Expands Its Cyber Focus to Insurers by Eric R. Dinallo, Jeremy Feigelson, David A. O’Neil, Jim Pastore, and Jordan R. Friedland The New York State Department of Financial Services (“DFS”) recently announced a major expansion of its cybersecurity efforts: DFS will require insurers to respond to a special “comprehensive risk assessment” on cybersecurity, with those assessments to be followed by an enhanced focus on cybersecurity as part of DFS’s regular examinations of insurers. DFS’s announcement expands to insurance the increasingly rigorous approach it has recently applied to banks in the area of cyber security. More importantly, it offers critical guidance to all industries about what regulators will consider adequate precautions and preparation in this area.

Cyber Security and Insurance Coverage Protection: The Perfect Time for an Audit by Lynda Bennett 2014 ended almost the same way that it began for most companies – having concerns about cyber security and hackers. At the beginning of the year, the news cycle was focused on breaches that took place in the consumer product space as Target, Michael’s, Neiman Marcus, and Home Depot worked fast and furious to address breaches that led to concerns about a massive amount of credit card information possibly being “in the open.” Later in the year, we learned that corporate giants like JPMorgan Chase and Apple were not immune from cyber security breaches as still more personally identifiable information and very personal photographs were released into the public domain. Finally, as 2014 drew to a close, the entertainment industry was further rocked by the cyber-attack on Sony Corp., which led to even broader concerns about national security and terrorist threats.

Clarifying Bad Faith Jurisprudence in Virginia, Federal Court Recognizes Bad Faith Claim Against First-Party Insurer by Michael S. Levine In Great Am. Ins. Co. v. GRM Mgmt., LLC,[1] a federal district court denied an insurer’s motion to dismiss a bad-faith claim arising out of the insurer’s denial of its policyholder’s claim for property damage and loss of business income following the theft of rooftop air conditioning units from the policyholder’s hotel. The ruling is significant because it illustrates that Virginia law supports first-party bad-faith claims against insurers.

N.J. Trial Court Applies "Named Storm" Deductible in Superstorm Sandy Case A New Jersey trial court has ruled that the “Named Storm” deductible applied to an insured’s claim in a Superstorm Sandy case. The Case: Wakefern Food Corporation, a buying cooperative of owners/operators of Shoprite and PriceRite supermarkets that purchased commercial property insurance from Lexington Insurance Company, claimed over $50 million in losses from Superstorm Sandy. Lexington paid about $22 million, and Wakefern sued the insurer. Wakefern asserted that Superstorm Sandy was not a “Named Storm” by definition when it hit New Jersey and its losses had occurred. It asserted that when the storm hit New Jersey at approximately 8:00 p.m. EDT on October 29, 2012, the storm was not declared by the National Weather Service to be a hurricane, typhoon, tropical cyclone, or tropical depression, as its policy defined Named Storm. Wakefern pointed out that as of 5:00 p.m. EDT on October 29, 2012, the storm already was “expected to transition into a frontal or wintertime low pressure system shortly.” Wakefern contended that by 7:00 p.m. EDT, the National Weather Service’s National Hurricane Center (“NHC”) had declared the storm a “Post-Tropical Cyclone.” Wakefern argued that a “Post-Tropical Cyclone” was defined in the glossary of NHC terms as its own weather event and that a Post-Tropical Cyclone was a “former tropical cyclone” not a “Hurricane, Typhoon, Tropical Cyclone, Tropical Storm or Tropical Depression.”

Wisconsin Supreme Court: Pollution Exclusion Bars Coverage for Well Contamination Resulting from the Application of Manure and Septage as Fertilizer In Wilson Mutual Ins. Co. v. Robert Falk and Jane Falk,[1] and Preisler v. Kuettel’s Septic Serv.,[2] the Wisconsin Supreme Court sought to resolve conflicting court of appeals’ decisions on whether excrement (manure and septic waste, respectively) are “pollutants” under standard insurance policy exclusions when they contaminate groundwater after being applied as fertilizer. The Wisconsin Supreme Court rejected categorically defining manure and septage as “pollutants.” Instead, the court determined that such fertilizing excrement unambiguously falls within the applicable policy’s definition of “pollutants” once the manure and/or septage has contaminated a water supply.
