Description

KRUPANSKY, Senior Circuit Judge. This diversity action concerned the scope of insurance coverage afforded by commercial general liability policy no. ZDL 278 88 76 ("the CGLP") issued by appellee Hanover Insurance Company ("Hanover") to appellant American Engineering Company ("American"). Hanover sought judicial reformation of the CGLP policy to incorporate an allegedly erroneously omitted rider (ISO Form CG 22 43 11 85) ("the rider" or "the endorsement") which would purportedly exclude coverage for any professional negligence claim made against American. Appellant Security Insurance Company of Hartford ("Security"), Americans professional liability insurance carrier, initiated a cross-complaint in intervention against Hanover which prayed for reimbursement of certain amounts paid in settlement of certain tort claims against American, as well as a judicial determination of priority of coverage. The district court, on cross motions for summary judgment, reformed the CGLP to include the pertinent rider and accordingly dismissed the entire action on the theory that the rider precluded coverage for the types of claims against American at issue in this case.
