The Federal court granted summary judgment in favor of the insurance company finding the maximum limit of liability was established at $1 Million for the pending county district court case and reasoned that an insurance policy is considered a contract governed by the rules for interpretation of contracts. The Oklahoma Alcoholic Beverage Control Act (Title 37A) requires that: All employees participating in the service, mixing, or sale of alcoholic beverages need to have an Employee License from the ABLE Commission. The girl’s parents argued the limit should be $2 Million. A summary judgment was filed requesting the court rule that $1 Million was the applicable limit since all claimed damages arose from the injuries to one person and fell under "Each Common Cause". The insurance company subsequently filed a declaratory judgment action in Federal court asking the court to establish the maximum insurance coverage available to the golf course. The insurance policy provision obligated the insurance company to pay sums owed by the golf course if they were incurred "by reason of the selling, serving or furnishing of any alcoholic beverage." The insurance policy liability limits were set at $2 Million for the "Aggregate Limit" and $1 Million for "Each Common Cause Limit". The girl attempted to drive after consuming a substantial amount of alcohol, crashed her vehicle into a tree, and sustained serious injuries to her spinal cord resulting in paraplegia. The Licensing Department is tasked with the processing of all new, renewal, and change applications for all entities required to obtain a license in accordance with Oklahoma State Statutes ensuring that the licenses are issued in a timely fashion and establishing and maintaining the paper and computerized master files. The letter says your license will not be renewed unless you are in compliance with the income tax laws of Oklahomathe tax commission is unable to verify that you are in compliance. The parents of a 17-year-old girl working at a golf course brought a lawsuit against the golf course and its manager for allegedly providing alcohol to their daughter following a golf tournament. A golf course was insured by an insurance policy which included "Liquor Liability Coverage".
