DDD Energy, Inc. v. Veritas DGC Land, Inc.

CORRECTED OPINION

JOHN S. ANDERSON, Justice.

This is an appeal from a summary judgment in favor of appellee, Veritas DGC Land, Inc. (“Veritas”). Appellant, DDD Energy, Inc.(“DDD”), sued Veritas seeking a declaratory judgment that Veritas is obligated to defend and indemnify DDD, pursuant to a contract between them, from third party claims made against DDD. The judgment below granted judgment for Veritas as to all the third party claims against DDD because the indemnity clause relied on by DDD is not enforceable. We affirm in part and reverse in part.
