According to government attorneys, there is a need to get hold of the details regarding knowledge of Hartford Insurance Company about distribution of peanut products contaminated by Salmonella by Peanut Corporation of America. Hartford played the crucial role of writing property and general liability insurance for PCA, which is now defunct. According to Food Safety News, four former PCA executives were indicated by the same Grand Jury that issued Hartford a broad subpoena. Now, Louis Sands, the United States District Judge has given an order for the Hartford’s subpoena to be transferred to his court.
Government attorneys have asked Hartford to adhere to the orders given in the subpoena and release recorded conversations, as well as other relevant documents. Hartford attorneys have maintained that what they have not produced is under the protection of attorney-client privilege. For surety sake, attorneys for Hartford have produced several documents and submitted them to governmental attorneys. However, while secret meetings were held by the Grand Jury, the company was bound. One of Hartford’s attorneys, Kristen Burns, said that they believed the file documents claimed contained information that was privileged. There have been numerous exchanges in letters between Hartford attorneys and the government since the year 2011.
The government maintains that the attorney-client privilege is nonexistent. This is because no attorneys were involved in the conversations that Hartford has withheld from the government. The government further adds that the conversations were not confidential. Hartford has asserted the mentioned privileges as they apply to its clients. One of the key arguments posted by the government’s team is that insured-insurer privileges have never been recognized by the courts. Hartford is yet to prove that that such privilege should be acknowledged.
