This case primarily concerns disputes over insurance coverage where the central issue was whether damage from earth movement, specifically subsurface soil collapse, fell under an exclusion for earth movement or was covered under an ensuing loss provision for water damage caused by a broken pipe. The court reasoned that the earth movement exclusion was applicable to the initial subsidence caused by the soil movement itself, but since the damage was also determined to be an ensuing loss caused by the subsequent water escape from a broken pipe, the specific water damage constituted a separate covered peril, thus making the insurer liable for that portion of the loss despite the general exclusion for earth movement.
