FC&S Legal has published, “Eighth Circuit Applies Compulsory Insurance Doctrine to Save Northwest: What Will Save You?” in its Eye on the Experts column.
This article, by Barry S. Alexander and Lee C. Schmeer, attorneys at Schnader Harrison Segal & Lewis LLP, discusses a recent U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit decision holding that the somewhat obscure “compulsory insurance doctrine” permitted Northwest Airlines to recover insurance proceeds directly from its maintenance contract provider's insurer notwithstanding the fact that the service provider itself might be denied coverage for failure to provide notice.
