An Illinois homeowners association (HOA) and its property managers are facing allegations from the operator of the development’s golf course. The operator claims that the association downloaded proprietary information, a situation that an insurer has advised does not meet the policy’s definition of an “occurrence” and hence, does not warrant insurance coverage.
The HOA and property managers find themselves in a contentious situation after the golf course operator brought underlying legal action against them. The specific details of this proprietary information, which is central to the case, however, remain undisclosed.
The insurer involved in this case has clear-cut views about the scenario. It holds that the policy’s definition of an “occurrence” is not satisfied by the alleged incident, which consequently, does not oblige it to extend coverage for the same. This could carry significant implications for all parties involved.
