Submitted: July 9, 2019
Decided: July 25, 2019

On Defendants AIG Specialty Insurance Company
and Lexington Insurance Company’s
Motion for Reargument of the Court’s June 24, 2019 Opinion
DENIED
ORDER
I By Opinion dated June 24, 2019, the Court denied Defendants’ Motion
to Dismiss. The Court found that the Civil Investigative Demand (“CID”)

constitutes a Claim for purposes of triggering the insurers’ duties to defend and
indemnify. Additionally, the CID is a Claim for non-monetary relief that alleged a
Wrongful Act under the Policy terms.

2. Defendants AIG Specialty Insurance Company and Lexington
Insurance Company have moved for reargument. Defendants assert that under the
Policy terms, “coverage is triggered when there is an allegation of a Wrongful Act,
but nowhere in the CIDs do they actually allege that Conduent committed a
Wrongful Act.” Defendants argue that investigation of the possibility of wrongful
acts is not an allegation sufficient to trigger Policy coverage.

3n The purpose of moving for reargument is to seek reconsideration of
findings of fact, conclusions of law, or judgment of law.' Reargument usually will
be denied unless the moving party demonstrates that the Court overlooked a
precedent or legal principle that would have a controlling effect, or that it has
misapprehended the law or the facts in a manner affecting the outcome of the
decision. “A motion for reargument should not be used merely to rehash the
arguments already decided by the court.”

4. The Court has reviewed and considered the parties’ submissions. The

Motion for Reargument restates contentions previously rejected by the Court. To

 

‘Hessler, Inc. v. Farrell, 260 A.2d 701, 702 (1969).

*Wilmington Trust Co. v. Nix, Del. Super., 2002 WL 356371, at *1; Whitsett v. Capital School
District, Del. Super., C.A. No. 97C-04-032 Vaughn, J. (Jan. 28, 1999); Monsanto Co. v. Aetna
Casualty & Surety Co., Del. Super., C.A. No. 88-JA-118, Ridgeley, P.J. (Jan. 14, 1994).
the extent the Motion for Reargument presents new or altered allegations, such
arguments will not be considered upon reargument. Further, the Court did not
overlook a controlling precedent or legal principle, or misapprehend the law or the
facts in a manner affecting the outcome of the decision.

THEREFORE, Defendants AIG Specialty Insurance Company and
Lexington Insurance Company’s Motion for Reargument of the Court’s June 24,
2019 Opinion is hereby DENIED.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
