MOTION TO COMPEL PRODUCTION OF REINSURANCE AGREEMENT DENIED, WITHOUT PREJUDICE
This discovery dispute arose out of defendant’s failure to answer certain of plaintiffs’ interrogatories and requests for production of documents relating to defendant’s reinsurance. Defendant, United States Fidelity & Guaranty Co. (“USF&G”), acknowledged having reinsurance, but objected to identifying its reinsurer and producing the reinsurance agreement based on relevancy. Plaintiffs filed a motion to compel. The Court denied Plaintiffs’ request, without prejudice, because the defendant had not notified the reinsurer of the claim. However, the court stated that if the defendant did notify the reinsurer of the claim, then it would be required to supplement its initial disclosures and produce a copy of the reinsurance agreement. Turnell Corp. v. United States Fidelity & Guaranty Co., Case No. 4:07-cv-1169 (USDC E.D. Mo. Sept. 10, 2007). Background on this matter is found in the Motion to Compel.
