  • Volume 11, Number 2 {Fall/Winter 2009}
    Volume 11, Number 2 {Fall/Winter 2009} Alternative Dispute Resolution Cayo v. Valor Fighting & Mgmt. LLC, 2009 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 103067 (N.D. Cal. Oct. 20, 2009). An insurance broker moved for a determination that its settlement agreements with mixed martial arts fighter Richard Cayo and event promoter Valor Fighting & Management (VFM) were made in good faith, thereby satisfying claims that had or could be brought against the insurance company due to its alleged failure to procure a policy that would cover any liabilities associated with a VFM-sponsored event. Cayo brought claims against VFM, the insurance broker, and two insurance companies after he suffered injuries in a match at the event and VFM failed to assume liability for them, which was required under their contractual agreement. Cayo's claims against the broker arose out of a separate contract between VFM and the host facility, under which VFM was obligated to obtain insurance coverage for any liabilities associated with the event. Cayo alleged he was the intended beneficiary of their agreement and that he could recover against the broker in tort if the broker had, in fact, failed to procure a policy for the promoter; however, due to uncertainty about whether a policy had been secured, Cayo also brought breach of contract claims against the insurance companies that opposed the broker's motion. Despite the opposition, the District Court granted the broker's motion. In approving the settlement with Cayo, the court emphasized that the insurance companies were not challenging the good faith of the agreement, but only the broker's proposed order to bar any future claims against it.
