U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 05-3099
District of Minnesota
[PUBLISHED] [Bowman, Author, with Murphy and Benton, Circuit Judges]
Civil case -Insurance. Minnesota law respects choice-of-law provisions
and as a provision of the policy in question specifically and
unambiguously identifies Canadian law as controlling on the issues of
quantum (the only issue to be resolved in this suit), the district court did
not err in concluding Canadian law applied to the question of uninsured
motorist benefits; district court did not err in concluding that the plain
language of the policy barred recovery of uninsured motorist benefits
under the facts of the claim.
