United States Eleventh Circuit

In an action seeking a declaration that Plaintiff-Insurer's policy did not cover Defendant's maritime accident, judgment for Plaintiff is affirmed in part, where Plaintiff invoked admiralty jurisdiction and thus Defendant was not entitled to a jury trial, but reversed in part, where "manufacturer's defect" in the policy could mean either a manufacturing or design defect.
