Supreme Court of Delaware

Epiphany Stoms

October 20, 20152015 Del. LEXIS 551

Summary

The Court affirmed summary judgment for Federated Insurance, holding that the policy's limitation of uninsured-motorist coverage to specified corporate classes was permitted by Delaware law and public policy. The policy unambiguously used "directors" and "officers" in their corporate-law sense, and David Stoms's position as a finance manager did not qualify him for that coverage. The Court reviewed the contract interpretation issues de novo because the parties agreed that no material facts were disputed.
