Travelers Indemnity Company, a Body Corporate of the State of Connecticut v. Rosedale Passenger Lines, Inc., a Body Corporate of the State of Maryland

BUTZNER, Circuit Judge:

Rosedale Passenger Lines, Inc., appeals from a judgment in favor of Travelers Indemnity Company which reimbursed Travelers for funds it paid to discharge a Baltimore City Court judgment against Rosedale. The district court held that Rosedale, Travelers’ insured, was estopped from asserting that it had forwarded suit papers to Travelers, and, accordingly, it denied recovery under the cooperation clause of the insurance policy.1 Because we believe that Travelers breached its duty to defend Rosedale and that the doctrine of estop-pel is inapplicable, we reverse.
