A divided U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit upheld a finding of summary judgment against Con Edison insurers in their bid to collect damages from World Trade center leaseholder Larry Silverstein for the destruction of the Con Ed substation at 7 World Trade after fire commanders determined late in the day of Sept. 11, 2001, that the building could not be saved.
The circuit also affirmed the dismissal of claims against other defendants involved in the construction and design of the building.
