Synthèse Legislator

Généré par l'IA

The dispute centered on whether an insurer was obligated to cover remediation costs for soil contamination found on insured property, where the contamination resulted from pre-policy acts of pollution. The court reasoned that coverage was barred because the policy contained an absolute pollution exclusion, which unambiguously applied to all forms of pollution, regardless of when the pollution occurred, thereby negating coverage for the pre-policy contamination and subsequent discovery.
