This case arises out of a fire and the subsequent damage that it
caused to the Northgate apartment buildings. Insurance company
compensated Northgate for the damages and now steps into Northgate’s
shoes to seek compensation from tenants, who the insurer holds responsible
for the fire. Tenants do not deny their responsibility but argue that they
were the co-beneficiaries of Northgate’s insurance policy, and insurance
company cannot bring a subrogation claim against a coinsured. Union Mut.
