Legislator summary

AI generated

The Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by the insurer against the appellate court's judgment in favor of the insured. The insured claimed coverage for damages caused by an intentional act, while the insurer argued that the policy explicitly excluded such intentional conduct. The court ruled that the exclusion clause did not apply because the insured's intent was directed at a third party, not the insured themselves, thereby upholding the lower court's decision.
