You may want to read this 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals’ opinion. It’s not perfect, but it does overturn Judge Senter’s ruling on Nationwide’s anti-concurrent causation procision. One which you so addamantly oppose
I just finished reading the opinion. It is actually a very good opinion, and does uphold anti-concurrent clauses. This is the 3rd favorable ruling on wind vs. water from the 5th Circuit related to Katrina. The actual opinion can be found at http://www.iiidaily.com/leonard.pdf.
I guess even after the ruling there are still interpretation issues. I did not read the opinion the same way as Rossmiller, but I can understand his opinion. The Sun Herald article states the Leonard’s will appeal…I agree with Rossmiller that the chances of the Supreme Court taking up this issue is slim. However, stranger things have happened. Have a nice long weekend.

Sam,
David Rossmiller at insurancecoveragebblog.com has some inciteful commentary as well links to an AP story at SunHerald.com and the opinion.
Thanks for the link to iiidaily.com.
