Head Matter:
SHELBY MUTUAL INSURANCE COMPANY, Appellant, v. JHG, BRENNER & JONES, Appellee.
No. 98-2827.
District Court of Appeal of Florida, Third District.
Nov. 24, 1999.
George, Hartz, Lundeen, Flagg & Ful-mer, Charles M.P. George and Mitchell L. Lundeen, Coral Gables, for appellant.
Hinshaw & Culbertson, Eric G. Belsky and Ronald L. Kammer (Fort Lauderdale), for appellee.
Before GERSTEN, GODERICH and FLETCHER, JJ.

Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
Because Shelby Mutual Insurance Company did not have a duty to defend JHG, Brenner & Jones under its commercial general liability policy, we reverse the entry of summary judgment in favor of JHG, Brenner & Jones. Furthermore, even if there had been a duty to defend, the recovery of the costs of defending the suit would have been precluded by Argonaut Insurance Co. v. Maryland Casualty Co., 372 So.2d 960 (Fla. 3d DCA 1979).
Reversed.
