United States DC Circuit

Summary judgment for plaintiff-insurer in a suit to enforce money judgments previously entered in a foreign suit for nonpayment of reinsurance premiums is affirmed where the district court properly struck defendants' affirmative defenses, correctly dismissed their counterclaims since defendants had contractually agreed that only English courts could hear such claims, and no evidence of tribunal bias was presented.
