The DOJ initiated the investigation of Millennium based on whistleblower allegations of unlawful business practices relating to false claims and kickbacks. Allied World Assurance argued it was not required to cover the lab company’s costs because its policy had a defense costs exclusion, according to the Law360 report.
The District Court concluded Millennium’s claims fell under the Allied World Assurance policy’s “specific claims exclusion” standard, according to the JD Supra report. The court also rejected the lab company’s attempt to recoup legal fees.
