1Opinion of the CourtParrino, J.
Supplemental defendant-insurer appeals from the trial court’s order that the insurer pay the punitive damage award entered against its insured in a defamation action, and the interest accrued. The insurer claims (a) that public policy does not allow insurance coverage for punitive damages and interest on a punitive damage award, and (b) that the terms of the instant insurance policy do not cover the punitive damages and interest. The first assignment of error has merit and we reverse the trial court’s order.
