Arrowood Surplus Lines Ins. Co. v. Westport Ins. Co. (D. Conn., aff'd. 2d Cir.)

The cedent sought reinsurance for $6.7 million for claims that arose from occurences taking place after the termination of the reinsurance contract. The cedent argued that the "follow the fortunes" doctrine bound the reinsurer to pay any claims under a reinsurance policy, regardless of the reinsurance contract limitations. The district and appellate courts, however, fully agreed with BatesCarey LLP's argument that the client reinsurer had only agreed to cover risks insured by the cedent during the time limits of the reinsurance contract.
