Heading: Boycott: Coercion Targeted At Casellas

Text: 53 The allegations about coercion and threats targeted at the broker, Casellas, and the broker's clients, fit more squarely within the boycott exception. See Hartford, 509 U.S. at 810-11, 113 S.Ct. 2891 (holding that allegation that defendant insurers and reinsurers told groups of insurance brokers and agents ... that a reinsurance boycott, and thus loss of income to the agents and brokers who would be unable to find available markets for their customers, would ensue if the terms desired by defendants in commercial general liability insurance were not approved, was a boycott under the McCarran-Ferguson Act). Such allegations of coercion on Casellas are within the boycott exception to the McCarran-Ferguson act's insurance exemption. 11
