American Family Mutual Ins.

Wauwatosa: A Taxing Decision for Outpatient Clinics The Wisconsin Court of Appeals today released a decision which potentially threatens the tax-exempt status of hospital outpatient departments throughout the state. In this case, Covenant Healthcare System, Inc. v. City of Wauwatosa, the Court of Appeals determined that the St. Joseph Outpatient Center in the City of Wauwatosa (the "SJOC") constitutes a "doctor's office" and therefore is ineligible for property tax exemption under Wisconsin law. In reaching this decision, the Court of Appeals essentially rejected the trial court's analysis of the role of outpatient medical services in a contemporary hospital setting. 08/10/10 Health Care Labor and Employment Labor and Employment   Labor and Employment Law Update - July 2010 wage and hour, EEOC, final ADAAA regulations, tax credits under the Hire Act, Fair Labor Standards Act, OSHA revised regulations, i2p2, misclassification of workers, NLRB, unions 07/26/10 Labor and Employment Municipal Law School Law   Wisconsin Supreme Court Finds That Personal Emails of Government Employees are Not Always Subject to Disclosure Under the Wisconsin Public Records Law In a much-awaited but complex, divisive and inconclusive decision, the Wisconsin Supreme Court found that personal, nonwork-related email communications of government employees were not disclosable under the Wisconsin's Open Records Law. In Schill v. Wisconsin Rapids School District, 2010 WI 86, the three-member Lead Opinion of the Court and one concurring Justice concluded that a records custodian should not release the content of an email that is purely personal and evinces no violation of law or policy. The law regarding whether a purely personal email communication made using government resources is a record subject to disclosure under the Open Records Law is not clear as a result of the Schill decision. 07/19/10 Insurance Coverage and Risk Management   Minnesota Supreme Court Overrules Longstanding Ban on Contribution, Recognizes Right of Equitable Contribution Among Primary Insurers In Cargill, Inc. v. Ace American Ins. Co., A08-1082 (Minn. June 30, 2010) ("Cargill"), the Minnesota Supreme Court struck down a 43-year ban on contribution among primary insurers, overruling Iowa Nat'l Mut. Ins. Co. v. Universal Underwriters Ins. Co., 276 Minn. 362, 150 N.W.2d 233 (1967) ("Iowa National"). On that basis, the Cargill court affirmed lower-court rulings allowing contribution among Cargill's primary insurers for environmental litigation defense costs. 07/07/10 Insurance Coverage and Risk Management   Supreme Court of Ohio Adheres to "All Sums" Allocation, Clarifies Contribution and Timely Notice Issues Pennsylvania Gen. Ins. Co. v. Park-Ohio Industries, 2010-Ohio-2745 On June 22, 2010, the Supreme Court of Ohio issued its decision in Pennsylvania Gen. Ins. Co. v. Park-Ohio Industries, 2010-Ohio-2745 ("Penn General"), in which the court followed and clarified the "all sums" approach adopted in Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. v. Aetna Cas. & Sur. Co., 95 Ohio St.3d 512, 2002-Ohio-2842, 769 N.E.2d 835 ("Goodyear"). 07/01/10 Insurance Coverage and Risk Management   Supreme Court of Wisconsin Imposes Duty to Defend on Excess Insurer Despite Absence of Duty to Defend Provision in Policy Johnson Controls, Inc. v. London Market, et al., 2010 WI 52 On June 24, 2010, the Supreme Court of Wisconsin issued a decision in Johnson Controls, Inc. v. London Market, et al., 2010 WI 52 ("Johnson Controls") in which the court held that although an excess insurer's policy did not contain a duty to defend provision, it did contain a follow form provision which incorporated the duty to defend provision found in the underlying policies. The Court further determined that the excess insurer's duty to defend was not conditioned upon exhaustion of the underlying policies. 06/24/10 Insurance Coverage and Risk Management   Supreme Court of Wisconsin Expands Bad Faith Law Roehl Transport, Inc. v. Liberty Mutual Insurance Co., 2010 WI 49 On June 22, 2010, the Supreme Court of Wisconsin issued a unanimous decision in Roehl Transport, Inc. v. Liberty Mutual Insurance Co., 2010 WI 49 ("Roehl Transport"), in which the court held that an insurer "may be liable for the tort of bad faith when [it] fails to act in good faith and exposes the insured to liability for sums within the deductible amount." Id., ¶57. 06/23/10 Labor and Employment Municipal Law   U.S. Supreme Court Supports Employer's Right to Review Employee's Text Messages Made Using Employer's Property In a much-awaited U.S. Supreme Court decision, the Court, in a narrow but unanimous conclusion, upheld a municipal employer's right to search and review the content of text message communications made by employees using the employer's property. In City of Ontario v. Quon, No. 08-1332 (2010), the Supreme Court concluded the City of Ontario Police Department and the Police Chief did not violate an employee's Fourth Amendment right to privacy by reading the employee's private text messages made while using City property. 06/22/10
