Description
We must adjudicate another case involving ambiguous provisions in a certificate of insurance issued pursuant to a group insurance policy. On countless occasions we have inveighed against the careless draftsmanship of documents of insurance and have decried the evil social consequences that flow from lack of clarity. (E.g., Paramount Properties Co. v. Transamerica Title Ins. Co. (1970) 1 Cal. 3d 562, 569-570 [83 Cal. Rptr. 394, 463 P.2d 746]; Gray v. Zurich Insurance Co. (1966) 65 Cal. 2d 263, 269-274 [54 Cal. Rptr. 104, 419 P.2d 168]; Ensign v. Pacific Mut. Life Ins. Co. (1957) 47 Cal. 2d 884, 888 [306 P.2d 448]; Continental Cas. Co. v. Phoenix Constr. Co. (1956) 46 Cal. 2d 423, 437-438 [296 P.2d 801].) We have emphasized that the uncertain clause leaves in its murky wake not only the disillusioned insured and the protesting insurer but also the anguished court.
