01/01/03 Powerine II: California Appellate Court Holds Umbrella Policies Provide Coverage for Administrative Actions
In a much anticipated decision, the California appellate court issued its second Powerine ruling. Its first ruling (Powerine I), affirmed by the California Supreme Court, found no coverage for administrative actions under comprehensive general liability primary policies. However, in Powerine II, its most recent look at this issue, the same California appellate court found that umbrella policies did provide coverage for administrative actions. David S. Cox and Jason B. Komorsky the Los Angeles office take a look at Powerine II and detail how the Powerine II decision is consistent with Powerine I and, more importantly, consistent with the policy language before the appellate court.
