A dispute between Penn State and the university’s general liability insurer stemming from the Jerry Sandusky sex-abuse scandal will play out in the Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas, the state Superior Court has ruled.
Pennsylvania Manufacturers’ Association Insurance Co., the university’s general liability insurer, sued Penn State in Philadelphia in early 2012 seeking a declaratory judgment that would limit defense costs and indemnity for which the university could claim coverage in a civil lawsuit filed against the university by an accuser of Sandusky, the convicted serial child molester and former Penn State assistant football coach.
