GMT Client Prevails on Broad Range of Environmental Coverage Issues
Cadet Manufacturing Company, based in Vancouver, Washington, is one
of the nation's leading manufacturers of home heating equipment. GMT
represents Cadet in an environmental insurance coverage litigation
in U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington, in
Tacoma.
On October 5, 2005, Judge Burgess ruled for Cadet on four motions
for partial summary judgment brought in connection with Cadet's claims
againt Granite State Insurance Company. Judge Burgess's detailed opinion
resolves in the policyholder's favor a broad range of coverage issues,
including the (non-) existence of aggregate limits on the policies,
the number of occurrences for purposes of application of limits, the
so-called "stub" policy issue, and the scope of an umbrella
insurer's duty to defend.
GMT partner Frank Cordell and associate Dan Houser handled the motions.
