Description
The question presented by this appeal is whether a carpenters general liability insurance policy provides him with coverage against a claim arising from work that he performed in an allegedly unworkmanlike manner. The carpenter, Loren Qualls, was hired by Mr. and Mrs. Donaldson to construct a new house to what the parties refer to as the "blacked-in" stage. Unhappy with the work, the Donaldsons sued Qualls for breach of contract and breach of warranty. Qualls insurer, Country Mutual, denied him coverage, so Qualls brought this Page 832 action for a declaratory judgment, seeking a construction of the policy and a declaration of his rights under it; the Donaldsons intervened in behalf of Qualls. The parties filed cross-motions for summary judgment, and the circuit court held that the insurance policy provided "coverage for damages for work performed in an unworkmanlike manner." Country Mutual appeals, and we reverse.
