1Opinion of the CourtHorton, J.
The plaintiff, New Hampshire Insurance Guaranty Association (NHIGA), appeals a decision of the Superior Court {Arnold, J.) granting summary judgment to the defendant, Pitco Frialator, Inc. (Pitco), and denying NHIGA’s cross-motion for summary judgment. The superior court interpreted the New Hampshire Insurance Guaranty Association Act, see RSA ch. 404-B (1983 & Supp. 1997), as obligating NHIGA to pay Pitco $300,000 as reimbursement for Pitco’s payment to third parties in settling a tort action after the insolvency of Pitco’s liability insurer. We reverse.
