Tenth Circuit: Opinions, 1/27/11

January 28, 2011 by Leave a Comment

The Tenth Circuit on Thursday issued one published opinion and one unpublished opinion.

Published

In United Fire & Casualty Co. v. Boulder Plaza Residential, LLC, the Court affirmed the district court’s decision. Petitioners claim that the district court erred in finding that Respondents, an insurer, owed no duty of defense, nor duty of indemnification, under Colorado law. The Court found that “[b]ecause the allegations fail to indicate any ‘factual or legal basis on which the insurer might eventually be held liable to indemnify the insured,’” Respondents did not owe a duty of defense.
