Eighth Circuit -- Wanda Slater v. Republic-Vanguard Insurance Co

Wanda Slater v. Republic-Vanguard Insurance Co

Diversity jurisdiction was not destroyed during trial, as $100 retained interest was insufficient to keep non-diverse party from being merely nominal.

Legal issue of whether duty to defend was triggered by contractual exception is insufficiently developed for consideration.

Under Texas law, where a "completed operations" term in policy bars recovery for goods once they are off the seller's site, it similarly bars actions based on services which would have been provided prior to the removal of the product from the site.
