Van Conversion Not "Maintenance" Within Auto Exclusion
Guishard v. General Security Ins. Co. (NY Sept. 11, 2007)
Court holds that CGL policy’s auto exclusion bars coverage for injuries sustained while riveting metal on a van for the purpose of converting it to an ice cream truck. The activity was not "maintenance" within the meaning of a CGL policy's auto exclusion, as the work did not involve "an intrinsic part of the mechanism of the car and its overall function."
