for the full case decision. Basically this is what's going on:
Plaintiffs-Appellants Taurus Holdings, Inc. and Taurus International
Manufacturing, Inc. (collectively “Taurus”) appeal a final judgment in favor of
Defendants-Appellees United States Fidelity and Guaranty Company, Pacific
Insurance Company, Limited, Federal Insurance Company, Great Northern
Insurance Company, and United National Insurance Company (collectively
“Insurance Providers”). Taurus filed suit against Insurance Providers, seeking,
among other things, a declaratory judgment that insurance policies issued by
Insurance Providers required them to contribute to the defense costs of about 30 lawsuits pending against Taurus. The district court found that the “products completed operations hazard” provision contained in these insurance policies excluded coverage for defense of these lawsuits and dismissed Taurus’ complaint.
Because we find that this case turns on an important question of state law for which there is no controlling precedent, we defer our decision pending certification of the question to the Supreme Court of Florida.
IMHO this does not look good for Taurus.
stay safe.
