How courts have described this case

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

• noting that “where a policy fails to explicitly exclude coverage of punitive damages, and instead adopts a punitive damages exclusion through use of a follow form, the exclusion will be enforced provided the exclusion would have come to the attention of the average insured”
• finding under New Mexico law that where a follow form provision designated that the \immediate underlying policy\ was to be followed, but then failed to designate the immediately underlying policy, that the policy was ambiguous and must be construed against the insurer
