Dirty Property For Dirt Cheap: Cgl Coverage For The Diminished Value Of Contaminated Sites Under Goodstein V. Continental Casualty Co., Daniel S. Cho

Golden Gate University Law Review

In Goodstein v. Continental Casualty CO., the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit held that the diminution in sale value of property due to pollution does not constitute "property damage" under a comprehensive general liability insurance policy where the sale contract did not require the buyer to remediate as a condition of the sale.
