In a recent decision, the Delaware Superior Court has ruled that the nature of an accord—whether settled in stock or cash—does not alter an insurer’s obligation to cover claims, specifically in the case involving AMC. This decision is set to have significant implications for corporate entities seeking assurance of insurance coverage amidst financial settlements. Robin Cohen, Chair at Cohen Ziffer Frenchman & McKenna, emphasized that the ruling imparts crucial financial flexibility to businesses, allowing them to resolve claims without forfeiting their entitled insurance coverage. The firm was among those representing the movie theater chain. Further details on the case can be found in the
