The defendants brought a motion for summary judgment seeking a declaration that a third-party insurer ranked first in priority for coverage and was obligated to defend the action.
The third-party insurer denied coverage.
The court addressed a preliminary issue regarding the proper use of discovery transcripts in motions.
Ultimately, the court found it could not determine the substantive insurance coverage dispute without further submissions on its jurisdiction to interpret a Quebec-issued policy and the applicable Quebec law.
The motion was adjourned sine die.
