Gulf Metals Inds., Inc. v. Delta Lloyds Ins. Co.
(Texas Supreme Court)
Insurance policy pollution coverage
The NAM filed an amicus brief with Halliburton Co. and Dresser Industries, Inc. on March 13, 2000 in a case involving how a standard insurance policy will be interpreted with respect to pollution. States have developed different interpretations of the standard language, and the NAM supports an interpretation that would allow coverage for unexpected and unintended discharges or emissions, even though they may not occur quickly. The Texas Supreme Court declined to hear this appeal on April 13.
