Mohan Papudesu, M.D. v. Medical Malpractice Joint Underwriting Association of Rhode Island and John Doe, Alias.

Summary

The Rhode Island Supreme Court affirmed summary judgment for the insurer, holding that the policy’s “as it deems expedient” clause is unambiguous and gives the insurer full discretion to settle without a good‑faith limitation. Accordingly, no breach of contract occurred and the plaintiff’s other claims were dismissed.
