Shelby Mutual Insurance v. JHG, Brenner & Jones
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided November 24, 1999 · Fletcher, Gersten, Goderich
744 So. 2d 1254; 1999 Fla. App. LEXIS 15633; 1999 WL 1062509 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Shelby Mutual Insurance v. JHG, Brenner & Jones

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

Because Shelby Mutual Insurance Company did not have a duty to defend JHG, Brenner & Jones under its commercial general liability policy, we reverse the entry of summary judgment in favor of JHG, Brenner & Jones. Furthermore, even if there had been a duty to defend, the recovery of the costs of defending the suit would have been precluded by Argonaut Insurance Co. v. Maryland Casualty Co., 372 So.2d 960 (Fla. 3d DCA 1979).

Reversed.
