WASHINGTON (AP) - The Supreme Court ruled Tuesday that Travelers Casualty & Surety Co. of America can seek to recover attorneys' fees from Pacific Gas and Electric Co. in a federal bankruptcy case.
In a unanimous decision written by Justice Samuel Alito, the court said federal law does not prohibit claims for such fees.
Underlying the dispute is Travelers' issuance of a $100 million surety bond assuring payment of workers' compensation benefits to injured employees of PG&E.
