    is not excluded by excess policy's flood exclusion.

    In the Insurance Coverage Law Blog (located here), the author David Rossmiller reviews the August 16 decision in Northrop Grumman v. Factory Mutual Ins. Co.,  lawsuit.  

    It appears that the decision was at least in part based on the lack of the phrase "whether driven by wind or not,"   

    Some good reading if you get a chance check it out.

    Click where is says "(located here)". Good article. why they chose to have this tried in CA is beyond me, except for the fact they they weould be hard pressed to find an impartial jury along the gulf coast considering how big they are there. Plus there is a huge political disadvantage of trying it there. I still can't imagine CA being any better.

    I have seen several layers  of cover that have the language in the upper layers that the amount of cover is the "same as the underlying first layer". I am trying to think what was the intent of the upper layer(s) not being as broad as the underlying?

    It presents a good argument for form following excess policies.
