"Bad Faith is sometimes about bad press," noted John Heintz, of Kelley Drye & Warren, during his "Appellate Assessment" seminar at yesterday's Mealey's Bad Faith Litigation Conference in Philadelphia.

Based in Washington, D.C., Heintz, in his lecture,  brought up the question of whether a certain former president's homeowner's insurer had a duty to defend against a sexual harrassment claim.

"For them, it was more about bad press than bad faith," he said. 

Has that ever been the case in your experience?
