New England Biz Law Update
Where a federal judge concluded that an insurer had no duty under a commercial general liability policy to defend or indemnify a developer who was sued in a Massachusetts state court for injuries allegedly sustained in the course of construction work, that conclusion must be upheld based on policy’s “Contractors Exclusion” and “Employees Exclusion.”
Certain Interested Underwriters at Lloyd’s, London v. Stolberg (Lawyers Weekly No. 01-132-12) (16 pages) (Selya, J.) (1st Circuit) Appealed from the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts. Ronald E. Harding, with whom Weston Patrick was on brief, for the defendant-appellant policyholder; John Egan, with whom David B. Stanhill and Rubin & Rudman were on brief, for the plaintiff-appellee insurer (Docket No. 11-2251) (May 16, 2012).
