Nationwide Mutual Insurance Co. v. A.B., No. 21-11221 (11th Cir. 2022)
Annotate this CaseThe Eleventh Circuit dismissed based on lack of jurisdiction A.B.'s appeal of a declaratory judgment that an insurer has no duty to defend the insured man that sexually abused her. The court explained that the declaratory judgment relieved the insurance company of any obligation to defend the insured which helps, rather than harms, A.B. Furthermore, if A.B. cannot obtain review of the declaratory judgment, it lacks preclusive effect on her. Therefore, A.B. lacks appellate standing as she suffered no injury from the judgment in favor of the insurance company.
