United States Fourth Circuit
Millennium Inorganic Chemicals v. National Union Fire Insurance, 13-1194
Partial summary judgment in favor of plaintiffs in their action alleging that defendant-insurers had wrongfully denied plaintiffs' claim for coverage under contingent business interruption (CBI) provisions of commercial liability insurance policies issued by the defendant-insurers, is reversed and remanded, where: 1) the district court erred in concluding that certain terms in the policies were ambiguous and that the doctrine of contra proferentem therefore applied; and 2) plaintiffs present no plausible reading of the Policies under which it could receive coverage for its CBI losses.
