To be sure, your well-pleaded complaint alleges several bases for the federal district court's subject matter jurisdiction, including, but not limited to, 28 U.S.C. § 1331 (federal question jurisdiction), 28 U.S.C. § 1346 (federal defendant jurisdiction), 28 U.S.C. § 1361 (mandamus), and 5 U.S.C. § 702 (the Administrative Procedures Act).

The Insurer's Right To Reimbursement Of Defense Costs, Robert H. Jerry Ii Jan 2000

The Insurer's Right To Reimbursement Of Defense Costs, Robert H. Jerry Ii

The article offers an alternative justification; it explains that the insurer's right should be analyzed in …
