Title: Basically the Same, But Different: A Comparative Analysis of English and American Reinsurance Arbitrations Authors: Richard J. Leedham, James R. Stinson, Joshua G. Urquhart Volume: 12 Number: 4 Issue: Fall 2005 Page: 57 Abstract: This article evolved from a presentation given at the May, 2005 IRU, Inc. Claims Workshop by Messrs. Leedham and Stinson, and moderated by Earl Davis of Firemen’s Fund Insurance Company. As similar as reinsurance arbitrations are in the U.S. and England, there are important differences that ceding insurers, reinsurers and intermediaries who operate in both countries need to understand. A comprehensive treatment of the subject would fill a book, but it is the authors’ hope that they have addressed the most significant issues in this article. Any views expressed in this article are solely those of the authors and not their respective law firms or clients.

Donald Tierney Volume: 6 Number: 4 Issue: Summer 1999 Page: 35 Abstract: While alternative dispute resolution methods may resolve some disputes between insureds and insurers, litigation still holds the greatest certainty for application of the rule of law, fairness of procedure, and insuring the authenticity of evidence. However, with the significant costs that discovery may hold and the possibility of extra-contractual exposure, a thorough, evaluation of how to handle a dispute should be done prior to embarking on a course of litigation. Excerpts from this paper were presented at the World Insurance Forum in Bermuda, February 1999.

Hurricanes in 2004 and 2005 severely tested Bermuda’s claims-paying ability, and forced a rethink among some of the principal companies. One solution, embraced by half a dozen reinsurers, has been the “sidecar”, a stand-alone corporate entity in which the reinsurer has a less-than-50 percent ownership and which is therefore not a subsidiary. The reinsurer cedes selected risks to the sidecar, which may have a limited life. Benefits include the ability to write more gross premium, balance sheet enhancements in the cedant, and a reduction in its earnings volatility. The 2006 hurricane season will be the first major test for the latest crop of sidecars; earlier models did not fare so well in the past two years.
