United States Eighth Circuit

In an action seeking a declaration that defendant-insurer owed plaintiff under its commercial marketplace policy and damages under several theories of liability, summary judgment for defendant is affirmed where: 1) the policy unambiguously precluded coverage for dishonest acts of an employee with an intent to procure enhanced compensation from the employer; 2) plaintiff was not entitled to coverage under the reasonable expectations doctrine; and 3) mere inequality in bargaining power did not make the contract unconscionable.
