Supreme Judicial Court of Maine

Decided November 18, 1996PublishedCited by 21 opinions

1Opinion of the Court

WATHEN, Chief Justice.

Plaintiff, Peerless Insurance Company (“Peerless”), appeals from the judgment entered in the Superior Court (Cumberland County, Saufley, J.) declaring that the actions of Kenneth Hirst, an employee of the insured Hofsaes Construction Company (“Hofsaes”), are covered by a comprehensive contractor’s policy issued by Peerless. On appeal, Peerless argues that the Superior Court erroneously interpreted the exception in its policy providing coverage for the “occasional and infrequent use” of certain non-owned commercial vehicles. Finding no error, we affirm the judgment.
