Denial of Declaratory Judgment in Insurance Case Affirmed

In R&J Enterprizes v. Gen’l. Cas. Co. of Wis., No. 09-3887, an action seeking a declaration that defendant-insurer owed plaintiff under its commercial marketplace policy and damages under several theories of liability, the court affirmed summary judgment for defendant where 1) the policy unambiguously precluded coverage for dishonest acts of an employee with an intent to procure enhanced compensation from the employer; 2) plaintiff was not entitled to coverage under the reasonable expectations doctrine; and 3) mere inequality in bargaining power did not make the contract unconscionable.
