BF&M lawsuit will focus on 1991 sale of assets

The focus of the court action filed yesterday against BF&M Ltd. and other co-defendants will be the complex sale of Bermuda Fire & Marine’s profitable domestic business in 1991. Bermuda Supreme court must decide whether the sale was done fairly and in the best interests of the firm’s policyholders and shareholders, as Bermuda Fire’s directors claim, or whether it was a way of avoiding expected claims by U.S. policyholders, as creditors claim.
