摘要

Insurance-Principles of interpretation and construction - Reasonable expectations-Insurers insured municipal bus depot - Contamination occurred from diesel fuel which had been discharged from underground pipe at bus depot - Investigation determined that over period of months, damage was caused by open manual ball valve in abandoned pipe which discharged fuel every time certain system was activated - Insured incurred significant clean-up costs and sought indemnity from insurers under policy which contained Decontamination Expense (Pollution Clean Up) coverage extension - Insurers denied claim - Insured successfully applied for declaration that coverage extension of policy gave insured coverage for property clean-up costs arising from escape of diesel fuel - Judge determined words "sudden and accidental" in policy were ambiguous and concluded loss was covered - Insurers appealed, alleging judge erred in interpreting policy - Appeal dismissed - Correctness standard of review applied to interpretation of policy - Judge erred in finding decontamination expense coverage to be ambiguous, but was correct to find cost of removing contamination was covered under policy - Proper interpretive approach to phrase "sudden and accidental" was not one undertaken by judge - Ordinary meaning of "sudden and accidental" is something that is abrupt, unexpected and unintentional, which encompassed mechanism whereby diesel fuel was discharged - Loss was covered - Judge held that policy holder would reasonably expect that policy insured very risk of loss that ultimately materialized, and that expectation was capable of being reasonably supported by policy language -Policy language did not support insurers' interpretation.
