IN THIS ISSUE January, 1980 -- ------------- Number 684 The Coverage 3 Highlights of news and events around the country of in- terest to the insuance industry. Recent Developments in Insurance Law in Maryland, Vir- ginia and the District of Columbia Joseph F. Cunningham 7 Mr. Cunningham observes that much substantive insurance law has been made of late by the appellate courts in Mary- land, Virginia and the District of Columbia. He selects several noteworthy cases to illustrate his contention that the truly remarkable ferment of intellectual and decisional ac- tivity in the higher courts in these jurisdictions gives promise of ultimate judicial preeminence of one or more of these courts. Punitive Damages: An Insurer's View Roy E. Pomerantz 21 In reviewing the New York experience, Mr. Pomerantz ad- dresses the concern of insurers with regard to punitive damages and their insurability. Examining the imposition of punitive damages generally and in actions against in- surers for bad faith, Mr. Pomerantz provides pragmatic insight for the handling of such suits.
