On May 11, 2021, in Global Fitness Holdings, LLC v. Navigators Management Co., Inc., the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit upheld a broad-form contractual liability exclusion in a D&O policy. As discussed in this article, the decision is important for several reasons, including: (1) it reaffirms the principle that broad-form contractual liability exclusions apply to the entire “Claim,” even when the “Claim” includes tort-based causes of action; and (2) it extends the “but for” test for applying the carveback to the contractual liability exclusion for liability “in the absence of such contract or agreement.”
