PHILADELPHIA – Stradley Ronon Partner Patrick R. Kingsley served as both a panelist and panel moderator at the American Bar Association’s Fidelity and Surety Law Committee’s Spring Meeting on May 11 and 12 in Naples, Florida. Kingsley was a panelist for “The Parties’ Obligations Under the Performance Bond Relative to a Principal’s Default” which discussed what constitutes a principal’s default and what actions a performance bond may require related to providing the surety with notice of a default, making a formal declaration of default and/or formally terminating the principal’s contract. Kingsley also moderated the panel, “The AIA A-312 Performance Bond Revisited: A panel discussion addressing key issues, potential pitfalls and practice tips for addressing adverse case law.”
