Robert Kole and Kevin Finnerty wrote “NY Courts Are Both Affirming and Limiting Bellefonte” in Insurance Law360, where they discuss the Second Circuit’s decision in the Bellefonte Reinsurance v. Aetna Casualty & Surety Co. case that a reinsurer is not liable for its cedent’s defense costs above the liability limit stated in a facultative reinsurance certificate, and how this decision has affected other cases over the years.  This also appeared in the Appellate and New York sections of Law360
