Ameron International Corporation, Plaintiff and Appellant v. Insurance Company of the State of P — Kennard, J…

Summary

Justice Kennard concurred in the judgment but criticized the court's continued adherence to an earlier bright-line interpretation of the term "suit" in comprehensive general liability policies. She agreed that the bright-line rule should not apply to administrative agency adjudicative proceedings because the term is ambiguous and should be construed to protect the insured's reasonable expectation of coverage. Justice Kennard would have gone further and overruled the earlier decision.
