Dredge D2 Insurance Update
5 October 2009: Titanium Resources Group Ltd (“TRG” or “the Company”) announces an update with regard to TRG and its subsidiary Sierra Rutile Limited’s (“SRL”) legal action against insurers over its outstanding claims relating to the capsize of Dredge D2.
SRL’s legal action is continuing and has recently been set down for a 4 week trial commencing on 28 June 2010 in the Commercial Court, a division of the High Court in London. On the current timetable, trial would therefore be completed by 23 July 2010, with judgment likely to be reserved at the end of the hearing and handed down at the Court's convenience thereafter.
The Court has directed the parties (as part of the pre-trial timetable) to seek to resolve their disputes by mediation, a structured without prejudice settlement discussion, such mediation to take place before 29 January 2010.
One of the main reinsurers has already settled its share of the claim.

The Hindu : Faux capitalists look for the free lunch
The US President Barack Obama, despite being articulate, is allowing his team to sound like philosophers and researchers when they explain what is going on in the marketplace and what the business plan is to fix it, rues Barry Ritholtz in ‘Bailout Nation’ (www.wiley.com). “This is the first time we’ve had to handle this situation, and it’s incredibly complex and difficult. While it takes great minds to devise a solution, when it’s time to explain it to the typical family, it needs to be kept reasonably simple and clear.”
The author gives an analogy from the field of sports, thus: “If a football coach has a brilliant game plan on the blackboard but cannot simplify it so it is crystal clear to the players, that plan will not get executed properly. The probability for failure increases.”
Perhaps, Obama’s speech last week, in the Federal Hall on Wall Street, was to make amends for the absence of clear communication. He had then chastised the industry for still engaging in “reckless behaviour,” “quick kills,” “bloated bonuses,” and taking “exorbitant risks that were unsustainable for the system,” as www.bloomberg.com reported on September 15.
The book has a chapter titled ‘Casino capitalism,’ which suggests that a simple solution to banks’ problems is to identify the banks that are insolvent and temporarily nationalise them. “Appoint new management, and give them six months to spin out 10 per cent of each of the separate viable pieces, with the taxpayer retaining the rest as passive investors. Bank of America can spin out five major pieces: BoA, Merrill, Countrywide, a toxic holding company, and the rest of its holdings,” Ritholtz recommends.
The call for nationalisation, he reasons, is not a move toward socialism, but an attempt to prevent casino capitalism from bankrupting the country. “Real capitalists nationalise; faux capitalists look for the free lunch.”
An example of the latter is the backdoor bailout of major financial institutions with AIG serving as the middleman; for, it is actually a bailout of private speculators, the author fumes. “Not only are US taxpayers subsidising the bad decisions made by executives in the US, but we are also bailing out the poor judgment of the rest of the world.”
