- Abstract
The article reports on the recent developments in the property insurance coverage litigation in the U.S. The aftermath of Hurricane Katrina continues to be the context for many of the recent significant developments in property insurance law. Extensive coverage litigation arising out of hurricane-related losses is now maturing into significant appellate court rulings on several important issues. Apart from that interesting property insurance questions continues to be addressed by courts and two developments in particular are worthy of note. First, several courts continued to grapple with the scope of coverage for a "collapse," and many courts continued to define and interpret the policyholder's duties after a loss, with particular focus on the examination under oath.
