New York Court of Appeals
Town of Harrison, Respondents-Appellants v. National Union Fire Insurance Company of Pittsburgh, Pa., Et…
December 18, 199689 N.Y.2d 308
Summary
The Court held that the pollution exclusions in the municipal liability policies barred coverage for all four underlying actions, regardless of whether the towns were the actual polluters, and therefore affirmed the insurers' denial of defense and indemnity. The Court reversed the Appellate Division’s partial reversal and granted summary judgment to the insurers.
