The jury in the World Trade Center trial has found that the WilProp form, which defined the attacks as one event, bound insurers representing approximately $1bn in coverage for the complex.
But it remained deadlocked over whether lead insurer Swiss Re was bound by the WilProp or Travelers form, revealed a report.
AIG, Chubb, Employers Insurance of Wausau, and a group of Lloyd's Syndicates were all bound by the WilProp form, ruled the jury. The insurers represent $1.06bn of the $3.55bn coverage secured for the complex.
The jury also found that three other insurers were not bound by the WilProp form. The three insurers, Zurich, Twin City Fire Insurance and Royal & SunAlliance, represent $176.5m in coverage.
The decision of what form the three insurers were bound by will now be the subject of a separate trial.
Judge Michael Mukasey sent the jury back for further deliberations regarding Swiss Re. No reason was given for the deadlock, said the report, and the jury will restart its deliberations on Monday. Swiss Re represents $778m of the insurance arrangements for the WTC complex.
