,Q1. Under Connecticut law, which doctrine governs when an insured's reasonable
expectations conflict with the plain language of an insurance policy?
A. Contra proferentem
B. Doctrine of reasonable expectations
C. Doctrine of estoppel
D. Parol evidence rule
Correct Answer: B. Doctrine of reasonable expectations
Rationale: Connecticut courts apply the doctrine of reasonable expectations, which
protects the insured's reasonable expectations even if they conflict with the policy's plain
language. Contra proferentem is a rule of construction against the drafter, but Connecticut
has explicitly adopted a broader doctrine. Estoppel and parol evidence are related but
distinct concepts.
Why Wrong:
A - Contra proferentem is a general rule of contract interpretation, not the specific
doctrine adopted by Connecticut for insurance policies.
C - Estoppel prevents a party from asserting a right inconsistent with prior conduct,
not a doctrine for interpreting policy language.
D - The parol evidence rule limits extrinsic evidence in contract interpretation, but
does not override policy language based on expectations.
Reference: Connecticut Insurance Law, Ch. 3: Policy Interpretation (2026)
Q2. A commercial general liability policy contains an endorsement that conflicts with
the main policy form. Under Connecticut insurance law, which prevails?
A. The main policy form, as it is the primary contract
B. The endorsement, as it is more specific and later in time
C. The interpretation most favorable to the insurer, as the drafter
D. The interpretation that provides the broadest coverage, regardless of intent
Correct Answer: B. The endorsement, as it is more specific and later in time
Rationale: Under Connecticut law, endorsements are part of the policy and, when they
conflict with the main form, the endorsement controls because it is the most recent
expression of the parties' intent and is specifically negotiated. The insurer's intent is not
the standard; rather, courts look to the reasonable expectations of the insured.
Why Wrong:
A - The main policy form does not automatically prevail; endorsements are considered
part of the entire contract and later in time.
C - Contra proferentem applies to ambiguities, but conflicts are resolved by giving
effect to the endorsement's specific terms.
D - Courts do not simply choose the broadest coverage; they must respect the parties'
intent as expressed in the endorsement.

Q3. In Connecticut, an insurer denies a claim based on a policy exclusion. The
insured argues that the exclusion is ambiguous. Which legal principle is most directly
applicable?
A. Reasonable expectations doctrine
B. Contra proferentem
C. Doctrine of waiver
D. Doctrine of estoppel
Correct Answer: B. Contra proferentem
Rationale: When a policy exclusion is ambiguous, Connecticut courts apply contra
proferentem, construing the ambiguity against the insurer as the drafter. The reasonable
expectations doctrine is used when the policy language is clear but the insured's
expectations differ, which is not the case here. Waiver and estoppel are separate defenses.
Why Wrong:
A - Reasonable expectations applies to clear language, not ambiguous exclusions.
C - Waiver involves intentional relinquishment of a known right, not interpretation of
ambiguous terms.
D - Estoppel involves reliance on conduct, not construction of policy language.
Reference: Connecticut Insurance Law, Ch. 3: Policy Interpretation (2026)
Q4. Under Connecticut's anti-indemnity statute, which type of construction contract
provision is rendered void?
A. A provision requiring a subcontractor to indemnify a general contractor for the
contractor's own negligence
B. A provision requiring a general contractor to indemnify a subcontractor for the
subcontractor's negligence
C. A provision requiring mutual indemnification for each party's own negligence
D. A provision requiring a party to purchase insurance naming the other as additional
insured
Correct Answer: A. A provision requiring a subcontractor to indemnify a general
contractor for the contractor's own negligence
Rationale: Connecticut's anti-indemnity statute (C.G.S. § 52-572k) voids provisions in
construction contracts that require one party to indemnify another for the indemnitee's
own negligence. It does not prohibit mutual indemnification for each party's own
negligence, nor does it affect additional insured requirements.
Why Wrong:
B - The statute protects subcontractors from having to indemnify general contractors
for the general contractor's negligence, but it does not void provisions where the
