Tennessee Supreme Court August 20, 1979 (Robinson v. Utica Mutual Insurance Co.)

OPINION

HARBISON, Justice.

In this action a homeowner’s insurance carrier sought a declaratory judgment to determine whether its policy afforded coverage and required defense of a tort action filed against the insureds.

The insurer denied coverage, relying upon an exclusion in the policy. The Chancellor held that there was coverage. In a divided decision, the Court of Appeals reversed.
