Syllabus

SUMMARY JUDGMENT — SUBROGATION WAIVER —CONTRACT INTERPRETATION — STANDING TO APPEAL: The trial court did not err in granting defendant/third-party plaintiff subcontractor summary judgment on plaintiff-insurance company's subrogation claim where a contract between defendant/third-party plaintiff and plaintiff's insured included a provision waiving the insured's right to damages against defendant/third-party plaintiff to the extent that damages were covered by an insurance policy applicable to the construction project. Plaintiff lacked standing to appeal the trial court's summary judgment in favor of third-party defendant on defendant/third-party plaintiff's claims where plaintiff lacked a present interest in the subject matter and was not prejudiced.
