How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• holding that an insurer who gave no indication that it reserved, or desired to reserve, the right to raise any reason for denying coverage was estopped from doing so
• recognizing that Court must construe findings “so as to support the judgment, if possible”
• “It is significant that ... the factual situation! ] that brought the Cummings rule of law into operation was the assertation [sic] of reasons for denial of coverage other than those first asserted prior to litigation.”
• insurer’s letter specifying sole reason for denying coverage and which “gave no indication whatever ... that it reserved, or desired to reserve the right, to raise any reason for denying coverage” was insufficient to avoid waiver of defenses not raised in letter
