Listen to this article

Dupont Mutual Insurance Company appeals a summary judgment ordering it to pay the limits of its homeowners insurance policy issued to William and Karen Palmer. Dupont argues that the Palmers were not occupying their house as a dwelling under Wis. Stat. sec. 632.05(2), the valued policy law, when a fire destroyed their house. We conclude that summary judgment was inappropriate because the undisputed facts allow for reasonable competing inferences.

Therefore, we reverse the judgment and remand for further proceedings consistent with this opinion.

This opinion will not be published.

Dist III, Langlade County, Kennedy, J., Per Curiam

Attorneys:

For Appellant: Gary W. Thompson, Milwaukee

For Respondent: John B. Rhode, Antigo
