{¶2} 
I concur with the decision to deny reconsideration.  However, as I 
stated in my concurring opinion in Fish v. Ohio Cas. Ins. Co., 101 Ohio St.3d 
1210, 2004-Ohio-224, 802 N.E.2d 149, I believe that Westfield Ins. Co. v. Galatis, 
100 Ohio St.3d 216, 2003-Ohio-5849, 797 N.E.2d 1256, applies to all pending 
cases where a claim has been raised under Scott-Pontzer v. Liberty Mut. Fire Ins. 
Co. (1999), 85 Ohio St.3d 660, 710 N.E.2d 1116.  Here, the appellate court has 
remanded the case to the trial court for further proceedings.  The proceedings on 
remand should include application of Galatis.
