Judge Lynn N Hughes
Norton Rose Fulbright US LLP has told both Texas and New York federal courts there is no reason to disqualify it from several suits concerning up to $340 million in insurance coverage, alleging that global research firm Gartner Inc. was using the motion as a "strategic ploy" to gain leverage in the battle over the jurisdiction.
Gartner Inc. asked a Texas federal judge to allow it to appeal his refusal to transfer U.S. Specialty Insurance Co.'s suit seeking not to pay more coverage over its $150 million policy limit for canceled events, saying that the Fifth Circuit should review jurisdiction because the suit does not involve any contacts between Gartner and Texas.
A Texas federal judge has rejected Gartner Inc.'s bid to transfer to New York a suit filed by U.S. Specialty Insurance Co. challenging whether the research firm is entitled to additional coverage over its $150 million limit for coronavirus-related event cancelations.
U.S. Specialty Insurance Co. has told a Texas federal judge to reject research firm Gartner Inc.'s bid to transfer to New York a suit about whether Gartner is entitled to additional coverage over its $150 million limit for canceled events, calling the request "procedural gamesmanship."
Research firm Gartner Inc. urged a Texas federal judge Friday to ax U.S. Specialty Insurance Co.'s suit seeking to stop Gartner from getting additional coverage over its $150 million limit for canceled events amid the COVID-19 pandemic, saying its policy is issued in Massachusetts and governed by New York law, not Texas law.
U.S. Specialty Insurance Co. is asking a Texas federal court to declare an advisory firm can't ask for additional coverage beyond its $150 million limit over events canceled in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, saying there's nothing in the policy entitling the firm to seek more money.
