The appellant insurer appealed a decision finding it had a duty to defend its insured under a homeowner policy against a counterclaim for negligent supervision.

The insured's child was struck by a vehicle, and the driver counterclaimed against the insured parent.

The Court of Appeal allowed the appeal, holding that the policy's exclusion for claims 'arising from' bodily injury to a household resident unambiguously applied to the counterclaim, following its previous decision in Quick v. MacKenzie and distinguishing Bawden v. Wawanesa.
