U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 10-2271
U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri - Kansas City
[PUBLISHED] [Loken, Author, with Wollman and Smith, Circuit Judges]
Civil case - Insurance. District court erred in finding the anti-stacking
provision in the policy in question was ambiguous, and the court erred in
stacking the liability limits in the four policies held by the insured;
district court should decide, in the first instance, the question of whether
a single insurer, having issued four policies to the owner of four vehicle
who then negligently causes an accident while driving a non-owned vehicle,
may enforce its anti-stacking clause after it satisfies the Missouri Motor
Vehicle Financial Responsibility Law.
