22A-PL-432
Civil Plenary. Reverses Allen Superior Court’s grant of the motion to compel arbitration filed by the 33 models who initially sued Insured Clubs in federal court over the unauthorized use of their photos in advertisements. Finds Illinois Casualty Company is not required to arbitrate pre-2016 claims because the cyber protection endorsement was not part of the insurance policy during that time. Rules 2016 and later claims are also not entitled to arbitration because the cyber protection endorsement’s arbitration provision applies only to claims made under the endorsement and the models did not bring timely claims under the endorsement. Judge Terry Crone concurs in result.
