(October 25, 2018, 2:10 PM EDT) -- NEW ORLEANS — The Fifth Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals on Oct. 24 held that a commercial general liability insurance policy’s “contracted persons” exclusion relieves the insurer from its duty to defend and indemnify its insured against an underlying negligence lawsuit brought by an employee of a company the insured contracted with, reversing and remanding the lower court’s ruling in favor of the insured (Northfield Insurance Company v. Charles Herrera, No. 17- 51080, 5th Cir., 2018 U.S. App. LEXIS 29957)....
