May 27, 1992128 N.J. 1

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey affirmed the Appellate Division's judgment that the insurer must defend its insured on the social host liability count. The court held that the policy exclusion for operation of a motor vehicle does not defeat the duty to defend when the injury is caused by concurrent alcohol provision and ATV use.
