Abstract

This article examines the insured's right to settle when the insurer purports to fully defend, but does so under reservation of rights with the express intention of not indemnifying. The article specifically addresses the extent to which the insured may settle the case and assign his rights against the insurer in return for a covenant when the insurer is defending but refusing indemnity.
