WI Court of Appeals – District I

Case Name: Kay Gnat-Schaefer v. Jason Amrani, et al.

Case No.: 2017AP100

Officials: Reilly, P.J., Gundrum and Hagedorn, JJ.

Focus: Insurance Claim – Coverage

In this insurance-coverage dispute, Jason Amrani and his development company, Chase Properties and Investments LLC, appeal from an order granting a judgment in favor of intervening defendant Erie Insurance declaring that Erie is not required to defend or indemnify Amrani and/or Chase in an action filed by Kay Gnat-Schaefer.

We affirm the judgment.
