Qualis Care LP

InsideBermuda continues this month with the third installment of our in-depth interview with New York-based businessman Martin Hoffman, who has attracted his fair share of publicity since he entered the insurance industry in the 1960s and has been an active participant in the Bermuda market.

Further allegations of wrongdoing against entities involving Clarendon Insurance Group Managing General Agent Martin Hoffman and Clarendon itself are contained in two US lawsuits currently awaiting trial. Both actions were filed at the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York by the administrators of Qualis Care L. P., which is currently in bankruptcy.

Clarendon National Insurance Company, Eton Management and Martin Hoffman have all been named as defendants in a lawsuit filed on June 15, 1998 in New York Southern Bankruptcy Court by Qualis Care LP, an entity owned by Hoffman that is currently in administration. Last year, the same plaintiff brought an action in the same court against Hoffman's Barbados-based Knightsbridge International Reinsurance company: a case that is currently awaiting trial.
