Jessco, Inc. v. Builders Mutual Insurance
Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit
1Per curiam
In this declaratory judgment action, Builders Mutual Insurance Company (“BMIC”) appeals the district court’s determination that it had a duty to defend and a duty to indemnify under an insurance policy (the “Policy”) issued by BMIC to Jessco, Inc. We conclude that BMIC had a duty to defend Jessco, but we also conclude that the policy did not provide coverage for the $10,000 re-grading allowance paid by Jessco to the homeowners in the underlying construction-defect action. We therefore affirm in part, reverse in part, and remand.
