Annotated Commercial Crime Insurance Policy - 3rd Edition - Toni Scott Reed

Annotated Commercial Crime Insurance Policy 3rd Edition Toni Scott Reed ISBN 9781634254021

This book provides detailed annotations of all major cases interpreting commercial crime and mercantile insurance policies. It focuses primarily on the most recent standard-form policies issued by ISO and SFAA, while also addressing widely used manuscript provisions that have been examined by the courts. As such, it offers the most comprehensive and up-to-date review of case law in this area, including analysis of modern policy provisions related to technology and computer use.

Each chapter reproduces and cites the standard-form language of the relevant insuring agreements, definitions, exclusions, and related policy provisions. Where multiple versions of standard language exist, the alternatives are included. A brief introductory discussion explains the scope and purpose of the provisions covered. The chapters then categorize key judicial decisions and provide detailed annotations of cases interpreting the policy language. When courts have addressed non-standard or manuscript provisions, those decisions are discussed in dedicated subsections. In addition, when similar language has been interpreted in other insurance contexts—such as financial institution bonds—relevant and instructive cases are also examined.

For ease of reference, the Appendix includes copies of the most recently issued ISO and SFAA commercial crime and mercantile policy forms. This edition incorporates new cases decided over the past decade, while retaining earlier decisions that remain relevant or informative. Annotations begin with applicable United States Supreme Court decisions, followed by opinions from the U.S. Courts of Appeals (organized by circuit), U.S. District Courts (organized alphabetically), and state courts (organized alphabetically and by level of court). All annotations are presented in reverse chronological order, with the most recent decisions appearing first.
