The Delaware Superior Court judge set aside the verdict and ordered a new trial—a decision now upheld by the state’s highest court. Delaware Supreme Court: Insurers breached duty to defendOne of the key takeaways from the ruling is that the insurers breached their duty to defend Conduent in the Texas lawsuit. However, the Delaware Supreme Court rejected that reasoning, pointing out that the settlement explicitly allocated damages to breach of contract, not fraud. The state terminated its contract with the company in 2014 over the Medicaid fraud allegations and then again in 2024 after the Delaware Supreme Court agreed to review this case. With a new trial on the horizon and since the Supreme Court ruled in Conduent’s favor, one has to wonder if it is only a matter of time before Conduent is again working for Texas Medicaid.
