SAUNDERS, Judge.

This is a class action wherein the plaintiff class was granted a partial motion for summary judgment on the issue of coverage. After a de novo review of the record, we find that policy issuer's appeal is without merit and affirm the trial court's judgment that the plaintiff class is entitled to its motion for partial summary judgment that the policy provides coverage to the claims asserted by the plaintiff class.
