An appellate court in California, affirming a trial court's decision, has ruled that two people who protect the feral cat population at a college were not entitled to a defense under their homeowners' insurance policy in a lawsuit that alleged causes of action for invasion of privacy, stalking, intentional infliction of emotional distress and assault.
The Case
Leslie Abrahams and Hal Gosling protect the feral cat population at California State University, Long Beach (CSULB) by maintaining feeding stations around the campus. Scott Miller, who lives adjacent to CSULB, frequently walks, jogs and rides his bicycle through the campus with his dog and young children.
