BILL BROWN CONST. v. GLENS FALLS INS.


818 S.W.2d 1 (1991)

BILL BROWN CONSTRUCTION CO., INC., d/b/a Bill Brown Trucking, Plaintiff/Appellant, v. The GLENS FALLS INSURANCE COMPANY, Defendant/Appellee.

Supreme Court of Tennessee, at Knoxville.

October 7, 1991.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

N. Mark Kinsman, Chattanooga, for plaintiff/appellant.

Steven W. Keyt, Chattanooga, for defendant/appellee.


OPINION

ANDERSON, Justice.

The plaintiff appeals from a Court of Appeals judgment holding that a cargo insurance policy did not provide coverage for plaintiff's cargo loss, because the policy was unambiguous and because the principles of waiver and estoppel cannot be used to broaden the coverage so as to protect the insured against perils not insured against in the policy. We disagree with the Court of Appeals and therefore reverse.
