Text: The Gilberts filed a Motion for Summary Judgment as to Kivlin's claims against the Gilberts based on 21 Del. C. §§ 6105 [1] and 6106. [2] The Gilberts argued that since Jason did not have a valid drivers license at the time of the accident, neither of the Gilberts could be liable for the accident under Section 6105. The Gilberts also argued that since Jason did not have permission to drive their vehicle, they could not be held liable to Kivlin under Section 6106. Nationwide filed a companion Motion for Summary Judgment. Nationwide asserted that if the Gilberts had no liability under Sections 6105 and 6106, and since Kivlin did not dispute that Nationwide owed no coverage or defense to Jason, then Nationwide was also entitled to summary judgment. In addition, Nationwide sought summary judgment on a separate basis. Nationwide argued that it had no duty to indemnify and defend the Gilberts, based upon the language of the Nationwide Voiding Endorsement and 18 Del. C. § 3909(c), regardless of whether any liability was imputed to the Gilberts under either Section 6105 or 6106.
