Summary Judgment – Implied Co-Insured Doctrine
Attorney Involved | Patrick M. Audley
Patrick M. Audley recently prevailed on a motion for summary judgment in a matter involving seven-figure exposure for a tenant of a commercial landlord. The case involved a fire which the plaintiff claimed was negligently caused by the tenant. The court agreed with the defense argument that by virtue of lease provisions regarding the payment of insurance premiums, that the plaintiff insurer’s claims were barred against the tenant who stood as an insured under the property insurance policy.
