Bermuda Fire & Marine lawsuit nears for top businessmen

A decision on whether to sue some of Bermuda’s most influential local businessmen for millions of dollars, stemming from the collapse of Bermuda Fire & Marine Insurance, is expected to be made over the next couple of months. At stake is over $100 million owed to creditors of Bermuda Fire & Marine Insurance and the credibility of Bermuda’s regulatory and legal system in relation to protecting the rights of foreigners doing business with Bermuda-based insurers and reinsurers.
