How courts have described this case

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

• stating that corrosion of an air conditioner would not be covered except for the possibility that the air conditioner burst and exploded
• concluding insurance policy was ambiguous after looking at the “policy in its entirety without isolating or giving priority to any one phrase, sentence, or section”
• rejecting the argument that an incident was not “sudden and accidental” based on the extended period of time during which corrosion damage to three lique-fier tubes developed
• “Here, while the corrosion/erosion mechanism that caused the holes in the liquefier tubes was slow, the breach of the tubes was instantaneous, and therefore, sudden and accidental”
• appellate court rendering judgment in Pioneer’s favor
