Obviously, an adverse ruling on this issue would have been catastrophic to carriers and the way they write fleet policies. This was essentially a common sense ruling. The lingering issue, however, will be the definition of a “fleet” policy. As with most coverage issues, clearly defined terms will control. The best strategy for successfully resolving coverage disputes is to have clear and unambiguous policy language though, there is room for further debate. Again, because future litigation for further clarification of what constitutes a “fleet” policy is likely, it will be important to monitor this line of cases.
