Bower
EAST ST. LOUIS – Washington restaurants asserting St. Clair County jurisdiction over a suit for lockdown losses made false, inaccurate and misleading statements in U.S. district court, Zurich American Insurance argues in a response brief.
Zurich counsel Eileen Bower of Chicago challenged statements of Knightsbridge Restaurant Group, which opposes transfer to the District of Columbia.
In a Dec. 11 brief, Bower says that exceptional circumstances warranted a reply.
Bower wrote that given a limit of five pages for her brief, she addressed the group’s statements instead of its arguments.
Knightsbridge, consisting of ten restaurants that belong to Ashok Bajaj, sued Zurich in St. Clair County circuit court on Oct. 26.
