Valley Select Foods Inc. v Lloyd’s Underwriters
In the case of Valley Select Foods Inc. v Lloyd's Underwriters dated July 6, 2023, the plaintiff Valley Select Foods Inc. and Cedar View Farms Ltd. brought an application for summary trial, seeking a declaration that the defendant, Lloyd's Underwriters, should indemnify them for their loss from damaged blueberries on their farm, covered by an insurance policy issued by Lloyd's. Valley Select estimated the loss to be approximately $1.87 million USD. The dispute revolved around the cause of the damage to Valley Select's blueberries, with Valley Select claiming it was due to a failure of a freezer covered by the insurance policy, while Lloyd's argued it was caused by Valley Select's processing methods and was not covered by the policy. The court ruled that the application of the plaintiff for summary trial had been dismissed, and the case would proceed to a conventional trial. The costs associated with the application would be determined by the trial judge.
