Risk Management Pool Moves for Summary Judgment in Lawsuit Against Munich Re

TAMPA, Fla. — A Florida risk management pool has moved for summary judgment in its action seeking nearly $1 million from Munich Reinsurance America Inc. for its settlement of an underlying lawsuit filed against the City of St. Pete Beach.
