Description
LIVELY, Chief Judge. This diversity case involves two distinct issues, one relating to insurance coverage and the other concerning the proper application of the equitable principles underlying the doctrine of unjust enrichment. The insurance question is whether property damage caused by the unlawful act of a third person having no proven animosity against the insured property owner is covered by a "vandalism and malicious mischief" provision in the owners insurance policy. If covered is found to exist, the remaining question is whether the property owner, who recovers part of the loss from one or more tort-feasors after the insurance company denies liability, is entitled to recoup from the insurer a proportionate part of the expenses of the recovery. The district court found in favor of the property owner on both issues, and we affirm.
