The follow the fortunes (or follow the settlements) doctrine has
been an important part of many reinsurance relationships. This Special Focus article focuses on
divergent case law as to whether the doctrine is purely a matter of
contract, or whether it should be implied into every reinsurance
contract, whether or not the contract refers to the doctrine.
The content of this article is intended to provide a general
guide to the subject matter. Specialist advice should be sought
about your specific circumstances.
