The Oklahoma Supreme Court is the most recent state high court to hold that property insurance policies do not provide coverage for COVID-19 related business interruption losses. In Cherokee Nation v. Lexington Insurance Company, 2022 OK 71 (Sept. 13, 2022), the court reversed a trial court’s ruling that a Tribal Property Insurance Program (TPIP) policy provided coverage for the Cherokee Nation’s alleged business interruption losses resulting from its temporary closure of its properties in 2020 as a result of the COVID-19 Pandemic.

On August 18, 2021, the Eastern District of Wisconsin concluded in Joy Global Inc. v. Columbia Casualty Co., 2021 WL 3667077 (E.D. Wis.

On March 3, 2021, the Delaware Supreme Court announced in RSUI Indemnity Co. v. Dole Food Company, Inc., et al., 248 A.3d 887 (Del. 2021) (“Dole”), that Delaware public policy permits indemnity insurance coverage for liability arising from fraud. Therefore, in Delaware, unscrupulous executives found to have lied to investors may potentially avoid direct responsibility for any damages caused and simply pass the buck for any judgment or settlement to the company’s Director’s & Officer’s (“D&O”) insurer.
