Codan Forsikring A/S v. Bogus — 1st Cir. (argued September 10, 2026)

No. 25-1770 Argued September 10, 2026 Published September 11, 2026

The First Circuit considers whether Northeast Marine Pilots can be responsible for a pilot's alleged negligence. Codan brought the claim as Hays Ships' subrogee, meaning it asserts Hays Ships' rights. The district court dismissed the claim against Northeast. The question is whether Codan plausibly alleged that Northeast could control the pilot's work.
