Wiley Rein: Settlement of RICO Claims Not Uninsurable as a Matter of Law, and Bad Faith Claim Allowed by Virtue of "Special Relationship" Between Insurer and Insureds | Practical Law

This Law Firm Publication by Wiley Rein LLP discusses Regence Grp. v. TIG Specialty Ins. Co., (D. Or. Oct. 12, 2012). In this case before the US District Court for the District of Oregon, the court held that under Oregon law a settlement of Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act claims was not uninsurable as a matter of law because the settlement did not necessarily establish that the insureds had engaged in intentional conduct. The publication discusses the case's factual background and the court's ultimate legal holdings.
