(TWX) unit settled its lawsuit against TIG Insurance Co. over legal fees that Time Warner incurred in fighting two defamation suits, according to court documents. Terms of the settlement weren't disclosed. A TIG spokeswoman said she wasn't aware of the settlement, and a Time Warner lawyer couldn't immediately be reached for comment. As reported, Time Warner's Time Inc. unit had claimed in the suit that TIG, the company's liability insurer, owed it millions of dollars in reimbursements for legal fees Time incurred in contesting two lawsuits against Time magazine. The suits arose over a 1991 cover story that was critical of the Church of Scientology. Time said it had incurred more than $7.3 million in legal fees in fighting the Scientology suits, but TIG hadn't reimbursed Time for any of that amount because of a disagreement over how the deductible on Time's policy should be calculated, according to the suit. TIG Insurance is currently a unit of TIG Holdings Inc. (TIG), which was spun off from Transamerica Corp. (TA) in 1993. (END) DOW JONES NEWS 05-08-96 5:43 PM Copyright 1996 Dow Jones & Co., Inc.
