Description

REVISED Defendant-Appellant Transcontinental Insurance Company (""Transcontinental"") appeals the district court's grant of summary judgment for Plaintiff-Appellee Data Specialities, Inc. (""DSI""). The district court concluded that Transcontinental was obligated to provide coverage to and reimburse its insured DSI for construction expenses under its standard commercial general liability policy (""CGL""). This case requires us to determine how a Texas court would construe the scope of coverage of a CGL policy when the insured is not at fault but seeks to recover expenses incurred in completing its contractual obligations, an apparent res nova issue in that state. We conclude that there is no coverage under a CGL policy when the insured is not at fault and thus reverse the district court.
