Bob Franco received an affirmance from the Appellate Court of Illinois in a defense judgment on an $83 million subrogation case. The casino’s property insurers paid the loss less the deductibles, and the casino and the insurers sought recovery of the loss payments and deductibles. The appellate court held that the contractual waivers of subrogation set forth in the construction contract and insurance policies barred all of the casino’s and its insurers’ subrogation claims, including claims for willful and wanton conduct and breach of contract.
