Western Heritage Ins. Co., 2021 U.S. App. LEXIS 16259 (10th Cir. June 1, 2021).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; HT Services was a land developer. HT Services designed and constructed a residential community. The AOAO sued HT Services for negligent design and construction of a retaining wall. When its carrier, Western Heritage Insurance Company, denied coverage, HT Services sued. The district court granted summary judgment to Western.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; The exclusion eliminated coverage for claims or suits &#8220;arising out of, relating to or in any way connected with &#8216;your operations&#8217; . . . involving the development [or] construction . . . of . . . condominiums . . . or . . . residential structures.&#8221; HT Services argued that a retaining wall was not a &#8220;residential structure.&#8221;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; The Tenth Circuit agreed with the district court. Because the retaining wall was constructed as part of the development of the residential community, the HOA&#8217;s allegations concerning defects in the retaining wall fell within the exclusion.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; Coverage was also barred under exclusion j (6), which prevented coverage for property damage to &#8220;that particular part of any property that must be restored, repaired, or replaced because &#8216;your work&#8217; was incorrectly performed.&#8221; The allegations of the underlying complaint asserted that the AOAO suffered damages resulting from HT Services&#8217; &#8220;defectively . . . constructed retaining walls,&#8221; which were squarely within the exclusion.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; Therefore the district court&#8217;s granting of summary judgment was affirmed and there was no duty to defend.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tred R.
