**Overview:**
The case of Travelers Property v. Tosco Corp. involves a dispute between Travelers Property Casualty Company and Tosco Corporation, primarily revolving around insurance coverage and liability issues.
**Facts:**
Travelers Property (the plaintiff) is an insurance company that had issued a policy to Tosco Corporation (the defendant), which is engaged in business operations that include the handling of hazardous materials. The case arose when claims were made regarding environmental damages and cleanup costs associated with a facility operated by Tosco Corporation. Travelers Property had to determine its obligations under the insurance policy concerning the contamination and related liabilities.
**Issues:**

1. Whether the insurance policy issued by Travelers Property covered the claims made against Tosco Corporation.
2. The interpretation of specific policy provisions regarding exclusions for environmental damage.
3. The extent of liability for Tosco Corp under the policy for the cleanup costs and damages incurred.
**Arguments:**
- **Plaintiff's Argument (Travelers Property):** Travelers contended that the claims were not covered under the existing insurance policy due to specific exclusion clauses that address environmental contamination and liability. They argued that Tosco Corporation failed to disclose relevant information during the underwriting process, which further voided any coverage.
- **Defendant's Argument (Tosco Corp):** Tosco Corporation argued that the policy was applicable and that certain exclusions cited by Travelers were either misapplied or not relevant to the claims made. They contended that the insurance company had a duty to defend them against the claims, regardless of the alleged exclusions.
