In its amicus brief, United Policyholders addresses a critical question that has split state high courts around the country: whether an insurance company can seek reimbursement or recoupment of previously paid defense fees and costs when the insurance policy contains no express provision allowing for such reimbursement. United Policyholders amicus curiae brief provides the court with policy arguments and case law from around the country supporting the pro-policyholder position against recoupment.
