Whether Maxum Indemnity Company's denial of the claim constituted bad faith. **Arguments:** - **Plaintiff's Argument:** RE/MAX Mega Group contends that the policy explicitly covers the incident in question and accuses Maxum Indemnity Company of failing to uphold its contractual obligations, thus harming the plaintiff's business and reputation. - **Defendant's Argument:** Maxum Indemnity Company maintains that the claim falls outside the scope of the coverage defined in the policy and that its decision to deny the claim was reasonable and justified based on the policy language. **Ruling:** [Insert the outcome of the case, whether it was dismissed, a ruling in favor of one party, or if it went to trial with a jury verdict.] **Significance:** This case highlights the importance of clear policy language in insurance contracts and the obligations of insurance companies to act in good faith.
