Cigna can now proceed with its appeal of a Philadelphia judge’s ruling that it could not sue its liability insurers for coverage of an ERISA class action.
Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas Judge Albert J. Snite Jr., who denied Cigna’s motion for reconsideration in December, clearing the way for an appeal, issued an order Jan. 2 adopting his Oct. 18 opinion. In that opinion, Snite ruled to bar Cigna from suing its insurers, Executive Risk Indemnity Inc. and Nutmeg Insurance Co., in Cigna v. Executive Risk Indemnity.
