SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Oct 18 – Gartner, Inc. which
hosted conference and events
worldwide has sued HCC
Specialty Underwriters, Inc.
over its insurance policy for
event cancellation amid
COVID-19.
On August 9, U.S. District
Court for the Southern
District of New York Judge
John G. Koeltl held a
proceeding. Inner City Press
covered it.
Gartner also
wants to disqualify Norton
Rose Fulbright as defense
counsel.
On September 13,
Judge Koeltl held another
proceeding, and Inner City
Press again covered it. Now
the geographic scope was
inquired into, and ways to
wall off lawyers. On September
7, Judge Koeltl denied a
motion for leave to file a
document, and an application
for relief from the stay,
noting that Gartner "can make
whatever relevant arguments in
connection with the motion to
disqualify."
On October 18
Judge Koeltl held another
conference, and Inner City
Press again covered it. There
is an evidentiary hearing
scheduled for November 8; on
October 18 there was
discussion of the Amended
Complaint's Paragraph 123
about damages: "Gartner has
also suffered losses during
2020 beyond the losses of
revenue from cancelled shows,
including losses incurred for
the reduction in force in its
conference business."
The case is
Gartner, Inc. v. HCC Specialty
Underwriters, Inc. et al.,
20-cv-4885 (Koeltl)
