St. Paul Fire & Marine Ins. Co. v. E.R.A. Oxford

572 F.3d 893 (11th Cir. 2009)

In a significant decision involving "professional services" coverage provided under a real estate professional errors and omissions insurance policy, the court reversed the trial court's summary judgment in favor of a real estate broker and directed the trial court to enter summary judgment for the insurer. The court held that the broker's conduct in connection with aborted business mergers was not part of the broker's "professional services" and therefore was not within the policy's coverage.
