L.O.L. has claimed AEG and MJ were not forthright about the singer's drug addiction and failing health at the time they applied for the policy. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, a rep for Lloyds tells CNN ... \"In exchange for AEG withdrawing its insurance claim, underwriters agreed to dismiss AEG from the case and to waive any costs recoverable from AEG.\" &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lloyds says it's NOT dropping the case against Michael Jackson LLC -- explaining they will press on seeking \"rescission of the policy due to nondisclosures of Michael Jackson's prior drug use.\""^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
