Division I Of The Washington State Court Of Appeals Answers, In The Negative, The Much Debated Issue Of Defense Costs Recoupment

In March of this year, we noted that whether an insurer can seek reimbursement of defense costs paid, where it is later determined there was no duty to defend, is an open issue in Washington. While the issue has still not been addressed by the Washington Supreme Court, in National Surety Corp. v.

Many have debated whether the following language from Kirk v. M
