Insurance Claims by Persons Descended from Armenians Persecuted by the Ottoman Empire
In Movsesian v. Victoria Versicherung AG, No. 07-56722, claims by persons descended from Armenians persecuted by the Ottoman Empire seeking benefits from defendant insurers, the court affirmed the denial of defendants’ motion to dismiss plaintiffs’ claims for breach of contract and breach of the covenant of fair dealing, where Cal. Civ. Proc. Code section 354.4 did not conflict with a clear, express federal executive policy, because there was no express federal policy forbidding states to use the term “Armenian Genocide.”
