United States First Circuit
Lloyd's of London v. Pagan-Sanchez v. Caribbean Boat Mfg. and Servs., 07-1709
In a case involving maritime insurance, denial of plaintiff-insurers' motion for summary judgment that payment under its policy was excused by the insured's breach of warranty is reversed where the district court erroneously applied a different view from the prevailing view, in both federal law and state maritime insurance law, that a breach of warranty will excuse the maritime insurer from payment regardless of any causal connection to the loss.
