102321P.pdf 08/10/2011 AMCO Insurance Company v. Inspired Technologies, Inc.
U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 10-2321
U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota - Minneapolis
[PUBLISHED] [Smith, Author, with Arnold and Shepherd, Circuit Judges]
Civil case - Insurance. District court could rely on interrogatory answers
as a source of actual facts outside the complaint to determine coverage
issue; however, the court erred in finding that the interrogatory answers
provided by 3M in its suit against Inspired had the effect of triggering the
knowledge-of-falsity provision in the commercial general-liability policy
AMCO issued Inspired as the answers did not clearly demonstrate under
Minnesota law that AMCO had no duty defend any parts of the 3M suit;
since at least one of 3M's claims was arguably covered, AMCO owed
Inspired a duty to defend the entire suit.
