How courts have described this case
Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.
- reversing declaratory judgment for the insurer where an issue of fact remained as to the ambiguous “settling” cause of loss provision in an insurance policy
- “[I]f the relevant contract language is clear and unambiguous, courts must give the language its plain meaning”
- \We find problems with both sides' interpretations. Neither one gives full effect to all of the contract language and both could be applied in ways that a reasonable person probably would not have intended.\
