Description
F L Aerospace ("Aerospace"), the successor in interest to Midland-Ross Corporation ("Midland-Ross"), the original insured party under Comprehensive General Liability ("CGL") policies issued by Aetna Casualty & Surety Company ("Aetna"), appeals a bench trial decision of no cause of action in favor of Aetna.*fn1 Aetna cross-appeals the district court's denial of its motion for summary judgment and cross-appeals the bench trial decision to the extent that it denied some of Aetna's defenses. This diversity action arose out of Aetna's refusal to indemnify Midland-Ross for money Midland-Ross expended to settle two private nuisance actions and to pay Midland-Ross' assessed portion of costs associated with an Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA")-mandated clean-up of the Berlin and Farro industrial waste site ("Berlin & Farro site") in Swartz Creek, Michigan. Aetna refused to indemnify Midland-Ross, contending that, in violation of policy provisions, Midland-Ross had failed to give proper notice of the claims and had made voluntary payments, that the clean-up costs were not "damages" and the loss did not constitute an "occurrence" within the meaning of the policy, and that the policy's pollution exclusion provision barred recovery.
