Supreme Court of Rhode Island

Regan Heating and Air Conditioning, Inc. v. Arbella Protection Insurance Company, Inc.

January 27, 2023

Summary

The Rhode Island Supreme Court vacated the Superior Court’s summary‑judgment judgment for Arbella, held that the total and limited endorsements do not conflict and that the policy’s definition of “pollutants” is ambiguous as applied to the homeowner’s oil leak, and ordered judgment for Regan on counts one, four, and five with a remand for further proceedings.
