Prior Knowledge Exclusion Bars Coverage For Lawsuit Premised On School Officials' Knowledge Of Abuse - Insurance Laws and Products - United States
by Gunnar Larson 22 Mar '24

22 Mar '24

https://www.mondaq.com/unitedstates/insurance-laws-and-products/1435978/pri… An Arkansas federal court, applying Arkansas law, has held that a prior knowledge exclusion in an employment practices liability policy issued to a school barred coverage for a lawsuit alleging that the assistant principal engaged in longstanding sexual abuse that had been reported numerous times. Berkley Assur. Co. v. Springdale Pub. Schs., 2024 WL 666500 (W.D. Ark. Feb. 17, 2024). In the underlying lawsuit, a former student alleged that the school's assistant principal groomed, stalked, and repeatedly sexually assaulted her over a period lasting more than three years. During that time, according to the underlying complaint, at least eight school employees and the former student's grandfather reported their suspicions or observations of abuse to the school's principal. Moreover, the assistant principal had pled guilty to a criminal sexual assault charge involving three minor female victims. The former student alleged that, despite receiving repeated notice, neither the principal nor the school district did anything to stop the abuse. The school's employment practices liability insurer denied coverage based on the policy's prior knowledge exclusion and filed a declaratory judgment action to confirm that it owed no coverage to the assistant principal, principal, or school district. The prior knowledge exclusion barred coverage for any claim "[a]rising from any circumstance(s) or incident(s) which might reasonably be expected to give rise to a Claim hereunder, which is either known or reasonably should have been known to the Insured prior to the Inception of this policy and not disclosed to the Company prior to inception." The court granted summary judgment in favor of the insurer, holding that the prior knowledge exclusion barred coverage entirely because each cause of action asserted was predicated on prior knowledge. The court found that, because abuse involves intentional acts, an abuser necessarily has prior knowledge of his own misconduct. As to the principal and school district, each cause of action lodged against them involved facts that necessarily implicated their prior knowledge. The court noted that its conclusion did not require presupposing the underlying allegations to be true but instead rested on whether coverage was even possibly owed based on the facts alleged.

RIP Vernor
by pro2rat＠yahoo.com.au 22 Mar '24

22 Mar '24

Three score odd years ago our founders brought forth in this space, a new ideology, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all plebs are created equal. Now we are engaged in world war five, testing whether that notion, or any notion so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that netwar. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that cryptoanarchy might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate — we can not consecrate —. we can not hallow. — this virtual ground. The brave punks, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us — that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure — that we here resolve these dead shall not have died in vain — that True Names anonymity, above all, shall have a new birth of freedom — and that cryptoanarchism of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.
