A Philadelphia judge has denied preliminary objections of the insurance company for defunct Wolf Block in a coverage suit involving the firm’s decision not to make severance payments to a former partner after the firm dissolved.
Federal Insurance Co. argued it shouldn’t have to cover Wolf Block for a lawsuit stemming from its failure to pay a former partner severance payments after the policy period ended. But Wolf Block said it was its decision to stop those payments, made before the firm officially dissolved and before the policy period ended, that triggers coverage.
