Breach of Contract

Outcome

The district court denied defendant National Union's motion to dismiss on the breach of contract claim, finding the policy language ambiguous as to whether an EEOC charge and subsequent lawsuit constitute one claim or two, and ruling ambiguity must be construed against the insurer. However, the court dismissed the declaratory judgment and vexatious refusal to pay claims.
