As we previously reported, an Illinois appellate court recently concluded that the limit stated on certain reinsurance certificates applied to both indemnity expenses as well as defense expenses, relying on the often cited case from the Second Circuit, Bellefonte Reinsurance Co. v. Aetna Casualty & Surety Co., 903 F.2d 910 (2nd Cir. 1990.) On December 16, 2014, the court issued a substituted opinion, making non-substantive changes to its prior opinion. Continental Cas. Co. v. MidStates Reinsurance Corp., No. 1-13-3090 (Ill. App. Ct. Dec. 16, 2014.)
