Insurance – reinsurance – rehabilitation — segregation
Assured Guaranty Corp. and its affiliate Assured Guaranty Re Ltd. (collectively, Assured; individually AGC and AG Re) appeal an order enforcing against them an injunction that was issued during the course of a Chapter 645 proceeding to rehabilitate a segregated account of the Ambac Assurance Corporation (Ambac). The circuit court ruled that the injunction barred Assured from pursuing arbitration in New York on two reinsurance contracts and obligated them to make certain reinsurance payments to Ambac. We affirm for the reasons discussed below. This opinion will not be published.
