Olympic v. Providence Washington Insurance

This appeal arises from an action brought by a landlord and its insurer against a tenants insurer. The landlords insurer, Chicago Insurance Co. (Chicago), paid $600,000.00 to settle a wrongful death action against the landlord, Olympic, Inc. (Olympic) and CBS Real Estate, Inc. (CBS). Chicago filed an action in superior court to recover at least part of the $600,000.00 from the tenants insurer, Providence Washington Insurance Company of Alaska (Providence). Both sides moved for summary judgment. The superior court granted summary judgment in favor of Providence. Chicago argues on appeal that damages resulting from the tenants breach of a covenant to procure liability insurance was expressly covered by the tenants insurance policy with Providence, and alternatively, that the landlord was an "implied insured" under the tenants policy. We affirm.
