Aircraft Holdings, LLC v. XL Specialty Insurance Co.

SC06-1303

Aircraft Holdings owns a Learjet that was insured by XL Specialty Insurance. After the plane was damaged, Aircraft Holdings sued XL, alleging breach of contract and bad faith. Aircraft Holdings sought access to correspondence between XL Specialty Insurance and its lawyers to prepare for the case. The trial court ruled Aircraft Holdings had a right to the documents. Citing attorney-client privilege, the First District Court of Appeal overturned that decision and certified the issue to this Court as one of great public importance.
