Contract Exclusion Does Not Bar Coverage for Tortious Interference Claim
The Northern District of Illinois ruled that a management liability policy’s contractual liability exclusion does not bar coverage for a tortious interference claim.

The decision affirms that insurers must defend claims not rooted in contractual liability, even when a broader exclusion is present in other policies.
