191140P.pdf   04/21/2020  Murphy Oil Corporation  v.  Liberty Mutual Fire Insurance
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  19-1140
   U.S. District Court for the Western District of Arkansas - El Dorado   
[PUBLISHED] [Benton, Author, with Grasz and Stras, Circuit Judges] Civil case -Insurance. In the underlying action, the purchaser of a refinery alleged Murphy has sold the plant in a conditions unsuitable for use, which led to a fire, and Murphy requested that Liberty defend the suit under the parties' commercial general liability policy; Liberty denied coverage and Murphy brought this declaratory judgment action. The district court did not err in granting Liberty summary judgment as there was no duty to defend because the statute of limitations on any tort action by the purchaser had run before the underlying suit was brought; any remaining liability Murphy might have for economic loss from breach of contract is not covered by the policy; the policy expressly excludes coverage for damages Murphy may have assumed in the sale contract for misrepresentation or breach of warranty.
