Description
The issues in this case come before the court as certified questions from the United States District Court for the District of Wyoming. The court is called to furnish a definitive legal connotation to phrases in exclusions clauses of commercial insurance policies that preserve coverage for "sudden and accidental" discharges of pollutants. Our study of the problem persuades us that these words are not ambiguous, and as used in these policies, the phrases encompass a temporal aspect that must coincide with an accidental occurrence to the end that such a discharge must be caused by an abrupt and unforeseen event that occurs unexpectedly, without notice, or with very brief notice. The certified questions are answered more definitively in the body of this opinion, and the case is returned to the United States District Court for the District of Wyoming for such further proceedings as it may deem appropriate.
