121070P.pdf 11/01/2013 Travelers Property Casualty I v. National Union Insurance
U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 12-1070
and No: 12-1151
U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri - Kansas City
[PUBLISHED] [Melloy, Author, with Bye and Smith, Circuit Judges]
Civil case - Insurance. For the court's prior opinion in the matter, see
Travelers Prop. Cas. Ins. Co. of Am. v. Nat. Union Ins. Co. of Pittsburgh,
621 F.3d 697 (8th Cir. 2010). The district court erred in holding that
this court's prior opinion decided the attorneys' fees issue; however,
that error was harmless because the common-fund doctrine applies and
Travelers must share in the expense of the common fund; the common-fund
offset is amended and the district court is directed to enter judgment in
a specific amount; it is further ordered that National Union pay Travelers
prejudgment interest on certain specified amounts.
