In one of the most closely-watched insurance coverage cases in the country, the New York Supreme Court held on February 21, 2014 that standard CGL policies do not provide coverage for claims against Sony Corporation as a result of the massive PlayStation data breach in April 2009. The breach exposed the personal information of more than 60 million users throughout the U.S. and spawned more than 50 class actions. Meagher & Geer partners Charles E. Spevacek and Paula Weseman Theisen represented St. Paul Fire & Marine Insurance Company in the case, Zurich American Ins. Co. v. Sony Corp. of Am., et al., Case No. 651982/2011 (N.Y. Sup., New York County)(Order of Mar. 3, 2014).
