Bjorklund v. Aetna Casualty & Surety Co

In Bjorklund v. Aetna Casualty & Surety Co., 306 N.W.2d 838 (Minn. 1981), the court determined that a loss occasioned by the felonious conversion and sale of a dealer's vehicles by an employee was expressly excluded by language substantially identical to the false pretenses exclusion at issue in this case: "We are of the opinion that there is no ambiguity in the language of this policy and that it was the clear intent of the parties that coverage be excluded if the employer was induced to voluntarily part with its vehicles on the false pretense of an employee that he intended to service them whereas his actual purpose was to convert them to his own use." Bjorklund, 306 N.W.2d at 839.
