Northern Security Insurance v. Hatch
Supreme Court of Vermont

1Opinion of the CourtDooley, J.
This appeal arises from a declaratory judgment action brought by Northern Security Insurance Company against Keith Hatch and Dawn Tanko. Northern Security alleged that Hatch’s fraudulent claim regarding losses from a September 6, 1992 fire voided his homeowner’s policy, precluding coverage for Tanko’s injury claim against him from an unrelated fire incident on October 11,1992. Northern Security appeals the superior court’s grant of Tanko’s motion for summary judgment, arguing that under the plain meaning of the relevant provisions, the policy was voided by Hatch’s fraudulent claim. We affirm.
