Henkel Corporation vs. Lloyd’s of London

Year: 2002
Court: California Supreme Court
Case Number: S0982427

The fundamental characteristic of a general liability policy (CGL) providing coverage on the basis of an occurrence is that the policy never expires even after the policy expires. If the occurrence causing the damage took place in the policy period, coverage should be provided regardless of when the damage first manifests.

UP’s brief was written pro bono by Jordan S. Stanzler of Stanzler, Funderburk & Castellon, LLP. Of Counsel: Amy Bach, Esq.
