MEMORANDUM OF LAW

A STANDARDFORSU~YJUDGMENT

Summary judgment is appropriate if the pleadings, depositions, answers to


interrogatories, and admissions on file, together with the affidavits, if any, show that there is no
genuine issue as to any material fact and the moving party is entitled to judgment as a matter of
law. Fed. R. Civ. P. 56(c); Anderson v. Liberty Lobby, Inc., 477 U.S. 242, 248, 106 S. Ct. 2505
(1986); Celotex Corp. v. Catrett, 177 U.S. 317, 106, S. Ct. 2548, 91 L. Ed. 2d 265 (1986);
Plastique Tags, Inc. v. Asia Transline, Inc., 83 F.3d 1567 (11th Cir. 1996). The party seeking
summary judgment has the initial responsibility of informing the court of the basis for its motion
and identifying those parts of the record that demonstrate the absence of general issues of
material fact. Celotex Corp., 177 U.S. at 322. The moving party need not produce evidence to
negate the existence of every material fact, but need only point out the absence of evidence
supporting an essential element of the non-moving party's case. See McCaleb v. A.D. Smith
Corp., 200 F.3d 747, 752 (11th Cir. 2000) (citing Celotex Corp., 177 U.S. at 323). See
also Latimer v. Smith Kline & French Lab., 919 F.2d 301, 303 (5th Cir. 1990); Saunders v.
Michelin Tire Corp., 942 F.2d 299,301 (5th Cir. 1991).

B. PLAINTIFF BREACHED AND THEREFORE VOIDED THE POLICY OF


INSURANCE BY TRAYELING OUTSIDE THE PERMITTED NAVIGATIONAL
LIMITS

Breaches of express warranties in marine insurance contracts release the insurer from any
liability under the policy. Hilton Oil Transport v. T.E. Jonas, 1996 AMC 1308, 1311,75 F.3d
627, 630 (11 Cir. 1996) ("The admiralty cases that support this principle are legion and form a

judicially established and entrenched federal admiralty rule. ") Specifically, this principle applies
to breaches of express navigational limits warranties. See, e.g., La Reunion Francaise, S.A. v.
Christy, 122 F. Supp. 2d 1325 (M.D. Fla. 1999) (court granted summary judgment to insurer
based on breach of navigational limits in insurance policy); Goodman v. Fireman's Fund
Insurance Co., 600 F.2d 1040, 1043 (4 Cir. 1979) (no coverage where vessel in breach of winter
"lay up" warranty when vessel sank); Hilton Oil, 75 F.3d at 629 (no coverage where vessel
outside trading limits when storm wrecked it); Lexington Ins. Co. v. Cooke's Seafood, 835 F.2d
1364, 1365-66 (11th Cir. 1988) (no coverage where vessel beyond 100-mile navigational limit
when hurricane destroyed it); Aetna Ins. Co. v. Dudney, 595 So.2d 238, 239 (Fla. 4th DCA 1992)
(no coverage where yacht beyond navigational limit at time crew member injured in slip-and-
fall); Port Lynch, Inc. v. New England Int'l Assurety of Am., Inc., 1992 A.M.C. 225, 234, 754
F. Supp. 816, 823 (W.D. Wash. 1991) (navigational warranty).
Here, the policy of insurance in effect at the time of the incident contained navigational
limits within the Port Risk Endorsement (#4). The Port Risk Endorsement stated,

"Warranted insured yacht(s) are confmed to port, located at


(as per submitted monthly reports)"

"however, for the purpose of vessel demonstration, service or


maintenance, navigation is granted within a twenty (20) mile
radius of the port risk locations."

The monthly inventory report submitted by the Plaintiff just prior to the incident that covered the
period of December 19, 2004 through January 19,2005 indicated the 1981 39' Shrimp Boat with
Hull Identification Number FLZY2255G981 known as Nikki had a Port Risk Physical Location
of 404 Riberia, St. Augustine, Florida.
Plaintiffs Complaint alleges, "On December 22, 2004, the Nikki departed the Fort Pierce
Inlet, heading south toward a final destination of Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The Nikki's progress
in the rough sea was slow and her Captain, David W. Nicoll, decided to return to the Fort Pierce
Inlet and proceed south to Ft. Lauderdale via the Intracoastal Waterway. As the vessel Nikki

was turning back toward the Fort Pierce Inlet, she was hit by a rogue wave in the aft area of the
vessel and took on a substantial amount of water." See Plaintiffs Verified Complaint ~~ 22-24.
The Fort Pierce Inlet is approximately 163 miles from the reported Port Risk Physical
Location of 404 Riberia, St. Augustine, Florida. There can be no argument that the vessel Nikki
was well outside of the navigational limits required by the policy of insurance. Lines 143-144 of
the Commercial Hull Policy state,

"Any deviation beyond the navigation limits provided herein


shall void this policy;"

Plaintiff has as a matter of law breached the navigational limits of its insurance policy
when the vessel Nikki was greater than 20 miles from the port in St. Augustine. The breach
voided the policy releasing INA of any obligations under the policy.

C. NOTICE TO AN INSURANCE BROKER IS NOT NOTICE TO THE INSURER

INA did not receive any requests from the insured, Law Offices, regarding the December
17, 2004 voyage. In order for the Plaintiff to move the vessel Nikki from the port in St.
Augustine to Fort Lauderdale, the Plaintiff should have sought authorization from INA. The
premiums that were paid for the policy of insurance did not factor the risk of the Plaintiffs
vessels leaving their ports. Had the Plaintiff sought authorization to move the Nikki, INA would
have decided if it wished to insure the risk and if so- amended the policy. See Affidavit of
Kristen Smith, Exhibit "1."
Assuming arguendo that Plaintiff advised ROYAL MARINE of its intention to sail the
vessel Nikki from St. Augustine to Fort Lauderdale, this knowledge cannot be imputed to INA.
Knowledge of an insurance broker can not be imputed to the insurer. Lien Ho v. Klaus, 738 F.2d
1455 (9th Cir. 1984) (knowledge of broker who is not agent of the insurer with respect to a
particular act or omission in issue cannot be imputed to the insurer); Jefferson Ins. Co. of N. Y. v.
Huggins, 2000 A.M.C. 2357, (N.D. Tex. 2000) (a marine insurance broker is generally
considered the agent of the insured, not the insurer). Thus, in order to have been covered for the
trip from St. Augustine to Fort Lauderdale, the Plaintiff should have sought to have INA amend
the Port Risk Endorsement.

CONCLUSION

At the time ofthe incident the vessel was located outside the navigational limits in breach
of the navigational warranty. The policy of insurance in effect at the time of the incident stated in
no unequivocal terms that the Nikki would not be covered outside the navigational limits and if
the vessel is taken outside the navigational limits the policy was void. Since the Nikki was well
outside the navigational limits the policy was void and therefore INA has no obligations to
Plaintiff.
WHEREFORE, Defendant, INA, respectfully requests this Honorable Court to enter
sununary judgment in its favor and any further relief the Court deems appropriate.

3. I was not the initial underwriter assigned to the account in question. Following
the incident I was assigned to the account. I have reviewed the underwriting file.
4. On September 3, 2002, "Law Office of Patrick G. Patel" submitted an application
for insurance via independent insurance broker Royal Marine Insurance Group. The application
for insurance explained that insurance was being sought for various vessels that were to be

location of the vessels that were to be insured. The application stated that the vessels would not
be used to carry passengers and would not make any ovemight trips. The application was signed
by Patrick G. Pate!. Attached as Exhibit "A" is a true and correct copy of the application for
insurance.
5. On September 19, 2002, a Commercial Hull Policy and Protection and Indemnity

6. The policy of insurance contained a Port Risk Endorsement (#4). The Port Risk

PORT RISK WARRANTY
In consideration of the premium charged, the following limits on use shall apply:

Warranted insured yacht(s) are confined to port, located at (as per submitted monthly
reports)

* * * *
however, for the purpose of vessel demonstration, service or maintenance, navigation is
granted within a twenty (20) mile radius of the port risk locations.

It is further warranted that navigation of the vessel(s) for the above purposes shall be

Case 0:05-cv-61364-KAM Document 23 Entered on FLSD Docket 04/17/2006 Page 11 of 47

8. The acceptance of the risk and the pricing of the policy were based, in large part,
on the representation that the vessels would be confined to port risk. The port risk endorsement
was included in the policy to reflect this essential term of the policy.
9. On September 19, 2003, the policy of insurance was renewed for the period of
September 19, 2004 through September 19, 2005.
10. On October 1, 2003, the insured, "Law Office of Patrick G. Patel" changed the
insured's name to simply "Law Offices."
11. On September 19, 2004, the policy of insurance was renewed for the period of
September 19,2004 through September 19, 2005.
12. Pursuant to the policy, a Monthly Inventory Report covering the period of
December 19, 2004 through January 19, 2005 was submitted by "Law Offices." The report
reflected that the 1981 39' Shrimp Boat with Hull Identification Number FLZY2255G981
known as the "NikkI" had a "Port Risk Physical Location" of 404 Riberia, St. Augustine, Florida.
Attached as Exhibit "e" is a true and correct copy of the Monthly Inventory Report submitted by
"Law Offices" for the period of December 19, 2004 through January 19,2005.
13. The port risk warranty for the vessel Nikki was never altered or amended and was
in full force when the loss was reported to have occurred.
14. On March 28, 2005, a formal denial of the claim was sent to the insured because
of the breach of the port risk navigational warranty.
15. The matters set forth in this Affidavit are true and correct, and based on my
personal knowledge.
