Monroe v. Discover Property & Casualty Ins. Co.
Connecticut Appellate Court
Decided December 6, 2016No. AC38332PublishedCited by 4 opinions
1Opinion of the CourtBeach, J.
The plaintiff, the town of Monroe, appeals from the judgment of the trial court rendering summary judgment in favor of the defendant insurer, Discover Property and Casualty Insurance Company. The plaintiff claims that the court erred in holding that the allegations brought by a third party against the plaintiff in a prior action (underlying action) fell within an exclusion in the applicable policy, and, therefore, that the defendant had no duty to provide a defense to the plaintiff. We agree with the plaintiff and, accordingly, reverse the judgment of the trial court.
