7th Circuit Court of Appeals
Case Name: Apex Mortgage Corporation v. Great Northern Insurance Company, et al.,
Case No.: 19-2525
Officials: BAUER, EASTERBROOK, and MANION, Circuit Judges.
Focus: Summary of Judgment – Issue of Material Fact
Federal Insurance Company refused to cover Apex Mortgage for the settlement of state tort claims filed against Apex. Apex sued but the district court granted summary judgment for Federal. Because the record contains an open question of material fact, summary judgment should not have issued and remand is necessary.
