Cable Communications Network v. Aetna Casualty & Surety Company

Cable Communications Network ("CCN") appeals from an adverse summary judgment granted on its cross-claim in an interpleader action filed by its insurer, Aetna Casualty & Surety Company ("Aetna"). CCN claimed property damage to certain television equipment under its policy with Aetna. A third party, Dr. Dube, also made a claim for the property damage. In response to the competing claims, Aetna interpled the policy proceeds in the pending suit between the two claimants. CCN cross-claimed, alleging that Aetna by filing the interpleader breached the contract of insurance and various other duties it owed to CCN under the policy. The trial court granted summary judgment in favor of Aetna. CCN appeals. We affirm.
