THE UNAMBIGUOUS INSURANCE POLICY DID NOT INCLUDE COVERAGE FOR LOSS OF BUSINESS INCOME AND THE POLICY MUST BE ENFORCED AS WRITTEN (FOURTH DEPT).

The Fourth Department, reversing Supreme Court, determined the coverage unambiguously described in an insurance policy must be enforced as written and there is no coverage for anything, here loss of business income, which is not explicitly described in the contract:

… [T]he insurance contract unambiguously does not include coverage for actual loss of business income. The contract provides coverage “as described and limited” for certain categories of loss “for which a Limit Of Insurance is shown in the Declarations.” Actual loss of business income, however, is neither described nor limited by the declarations. Thus, there is no actual loss of business income coverage “by reason of ‘lack of inclusion’ “… , and “the policy as written could not have covered the liability in question under any circumstances” … . Downstairs Cabaret, Inc. v Wesco Ins. Co., 2020 NY Slip Op 05637, Fourth Dept 10-9-20
