McDonnell Douglas Workers' Compensation Arbitration
Jim Murray and Frank Cordell recently concluded a week-long
arbitration on behalf of McDonnell Douglas Corporation (as a wholly-owned
subsidiary of The Boeing Company) against its historical workers'
compensation insurer, Industrial Indemnity (now Fremont Indemnity).
The San Francisco arbitration, conducted under California law, was
tried to a three-member panel, with retired California Supreme Court
Justice Edward A. Panelli presiding. The contract dispute involves
the appropriate calculation of premiums under the MDC workers' compensation
program in place with Industrial Indemnity from 1970 to 1995.
A decision is expected by May 2003. |
