"Loss assessment coverage limit didn’t renew each term," Massachusetts Lawyers Weekly (June 6). MBA member William A. Schneider commented on a U.S. magistrate judge's decision that a $50,000-per-loss limit in a condo owner's coverage for damage to common areas was meant to encompass benefits paid during prior policy periods but arising from the same incident.
