An insurer for former foreclosure giant David J. Stern wants out of its policy, saying in a lawsuit that the company doesn’t cover “claims based upon, arising out of, directly or indirectly resulting from or in consequence of, or in any way involving a dishonest, fraudulent, criminal, or malicious act or omission.”
Admiral Insurance Company filed a lawsuit Thursday in the United States District Court, Southern District of Florida, saying it shouldn’t be responsible for defense expenses in two class-action claims filed against Stern in Palm Beach County. Stern had a $3 million policy with Admiral that expired last year.
The claims, filed in 2007 and 2009, allege Stern’s Plantation-based firm violated state laws by trying to collect unnecessary fees serving summonses to multiple “unknown” residents and tenants of homes in foreclosure and overcharging for title searches and examinations.
