Generally Endorsed Writ of Summons in Renaissance Reinsurance Ltd. and DaVinci Reinsurance Ltd. v. Priosma Limited at Bermuda Supreme Court. Editor's Note: Nearly eight months after this writ was filed, the entire case - even its existence - is concealed from public view in the Cause Book at Bermuda Supreme Court, where the phrase "Space Taken" appears, instead of the names of the parties or any other details, despite the fact that the shares of the parent of the plaintiffs are listed on the New York Stock Exchange. It is part of a disturbing trend towards rampant secrecy at the Court that is being investigated by OffshoreAlert. A copy of the writ in this case was provided to OffshoreAlert outside of Bermuda's court system.
