Silver Sage Partners, Ltd. vs. City of Desert Hot Springs et al.

Year: 2002
Court: U.S. Court of Appeals, 9th Circuit
Case Number: 02-57082, 03-55394

Where an insurer chooses to draft an exclusion that does not clearly and unambiguously apply to a specific claim, it cannot argue, after the fact, for a contrary interpretation. Poor draftsmanship cannot support an insurer’s argument for a narrow underwriting construction of coverage.

UP’s brief was written pro bono by Amy Bach. Esq. Of Counsel: Eugene R. Anderson, Esq. and John G. Nevius of Anderson Kill & Olick, PC
