Question juridique clé
Whether the insurer had a duty to indemnify under the insurance contract for the pipe damage and resulting liability.
Solution extraite
The contract covered damage caused by a manufacturing defect, but the exclusion for defect-removal costs applied; because those costs were at least equal to the recovery costs, no indemnity was owed.
Motifs extraits
The court construed the AVB and BB together, held that mere defect correction is excluded, and that Ziff. 6.2 BB did not create a contrary agreement. No ambiguity justified invoking the insurer-unfavorable interpretation rule.
