WEIMER, Justice.

This court granted a writ application filed by a defendant insurer to determine whether coverage must be provided under a motor vehicle insurance policy that purports to exclude coverage for a driver who is engaged in the "automobile business." We find that the "automobile business" exclusion in the insurance policy violates Louisiana's public policy of requiring insurance coverage as expressed in the Louisiana Motor Vehicle Safety Responsibility Law, LSA-R.S. 32:851 to 1043. Most specifically, LSA-R.S. 32:900(B)(2) requires coverage for permissive drivers. The "automobile business" exclusion impermissibly conflicts with LSA-R.S. 32:900(B)(2). Therefore, the district court's dismissal from this lawsuit of an insurer invoking the "automobile business" exclusion is reversed. Though our reasoning significantly differs from the court of appeal, inasmuch as the court of appeal ruled that the automobile business exclusion did not justify dismissing the insurer, the judgment of the court of appeal is affirmed.

FACTUAL AND PROCEDURAL BACKGROUND

The question of insurance coverage arises from the following events. On November 14, 2006, Laurie Ann Sensebe was driving on the I-10 "twin span" bridge in St. Tammany Parish when her vehicle was rear-ended by a pickup truck owned by Gregory Hyneman and operated by Deborah Boudreaux.

At the time of the accident, Ms. Boudreaux was an employee of Top Hatch, Inc. ("Top Hatch"). Ms. Boudreaux was driving the pickup truck from Dub Herring Ford, Inc., the dealership where Mr. Hyneman had purchased the vehicle several months earlier. The dealership had contracted with Top Hatch to replace the seat covers with leather at Top Hatch's shop. Ms. Boudreaux was transporting the vehicle to Top Hatch so that the work could be done on the seats.

Ms. Sensebe has filed the instant lawsuit seeking damages for personal injuries and property damages she allegedly suffered from the accident. In her petition, Ms. Sensebe names as a defendant Mississippi Farm Bureau Casualty Insurance Co. ("Farm Bureau"), which insured Mr. Hyneman's pickup truck. Ms. Sensebe also names as a defendant Canal Indemnity Co. ("Canal Indemnity"), which insured Top Hatch.

Farm Bureau moved for summary judgment, urging that the Farm Bureau insurance policy provides no coverage and, therefore, Farm Bureau should be dismissed from the lawsuit. Farm Bureau explained that the insurance policy Mr. Hyneman purchased has an "automobile business" exclusion, and Farm Bureau argued that this exclusion applied because Ms. Boudreaux was driving the Hyneman vehicle while employed by Top Hatch. "[E]mploying the general rules of interpretation of contracts set forth in the Louisiana Civil Code," argued Farm Bureau, the automobile business exclusion unambiguously reflected the insurer's and insured's intent to exclude a driver such as Ms. Boudreaux from coverage.1 Farm Bureau also cited examples from Louisiana's jurisprudence when courts have indeed enforced automobile business exclusions.

Acknowledging that much of the jurisprudence upon which Farm Bureau relied pre-dated Louisiana's Compulsory Motor Vehicle Liability Security law enacted in 1977,2 Farm Bureau noted the possibility that the automobile business exclusion may violate the current public policy of this state. Therefore, in its motion, Farm Bureau advanced an alternative argument: "if the Farm Bureau automobile business exclusion is found to be contrary to public policy, Farm Bureau's coverage is limited to the statutory minimum limits of coverage of $10,000.00/$20,000.00." The limits of coverage stated in Farm Bureau's policy are $100,000 per person and $300,000 per accident.

Both the plaintiff, Ms. Sensebe, and Farm Bureau's co-defendant, Canal Indemnity, opposed Farm Bureau's motion for summary judgment. Taking the lead in opposing Farm Bureau, Canal Indemnity argued that Top Hatch was not the type of business contemplated by the automobile business exclusion. Canal Indemnity urged that Top Hatch's upholstery work, such as replacing the seat covers in the pickup truck with leather, did not render Top Hatch a "repair shop" as defined in Farm Bureau's automobile business exclusion. Canal Indemnity also argued that the automobile business exclusion did — as Farm Bureau alluded it might—violate Louisiana's public policy of covering permissive drivers.

Canal Indemnity and Top Hatch together brought their own motion for summary judgment, urging that Farm Bureau's policy provides primary coverage and, consequently, Canal Indemnity's policy should only provide coverage after the Farm Bureau policy limits of $100,000.00 are exhausted.

The district court heard argument on the two motions for summary judgment and ruled from the bench. Granting Farm Bureau's motion, the court explained:

The court denied Canal Indemnity's and Top Hatch's motion for summary judgment, explaining:

The district court's rulings were formalized in a written judgment, which was certified to be a final judgment pursuant to LSA-C.C.P. art. 1915(B). Canal Indemnity and Top Hatch moved for a devolutive appeal, which the district court granted and designated the summary judgment in favor of Farm Bureau as a final, appealable judgment.3

The court of appeal reversed the district court, finding Farm Bureau had failed to carry its burden of proving that the automobile business exclusion applied. Sensebe v. Canal Indem. Co., 2009-1325, p. 7 (La.App. 1 Cir. 2/24/10), 35 So.3d 1122, 1126. The court explained that according to a strict construction of the exclusionary terms, "the installation of leather upholstery is an after-market upgrade and not an automobile repair or service as reasonably contemplated by these terms." Sensebe, 2009-1325 at 7, 35 So.3d at 1126. The court of appeal did not reach the question of whether the exclusion should be struck as violating Louisiana's public policy because the court instead found that the exclusion did not apply as a matter of contractual interpretation. Sensebe, 2009-1325 at 7, 35 So.3d at 1126.

Farm Bureau applied for a writ of review, which this court granted. Sensebe v. Canal Indem. Co., 2010-0703 (La.6/25/10), 38 So.3d 358.

LAW AND ANALYSIS

Appellate courts review summary judgments de novo, using the same criteria that govern the district court's consideration of whether summary judgment is appropriate. Schroeder v. Board of Supervisors of Louisiana State University, 591 So.2d 342, 345 (La.1991). A court must grant a motion for summary judgment "if the pleadings, depositions, answers to interrogatories, and admissions on file, together with the affidavits, if any, show that there is no genuine issue as to material fact, and that mover is entitled to judgment as a matter of law." LSA-C.C.P. art. 966(B). The summary judgment procedure, which is designed to secure the just, speedy, and inexpensive determination of civil actions, is now favored in our law. LSA-C.C.P. art. 966(A)(2). The summary judgment procedure is also an appropriate procedure for determining certain insurance coverage issues. See, e.g., Peterson v. Schimek, 98-1712 (La.3/2/99), 729 So.2d 1024.

In this case, Farm Bureau moved for summary judgment and advanced two arguments: 1) the policy issued to Mr. Hyneman afforded no coverage at all because under the wording of the automobile business exclusion, Ms. Boudreaux was not insured when driving to her employer, Top Hatch; and 2) at most, and if the automobile business exclusion were found to violate the public policy of this state, liability coverage should be limited to the statutory minimum of $10,000/20,000.4

In order to analyze the merits of these arguments, the relevant language from the insurance policy must be examined. Under the "DEFINITION OF INSURED," the policy states, in pertinent part:

Then, under the "OTHER DEFINITIONS" heading, the policy states, in pertinent part:

The starting point in analyzing insurance policies is the principle that an insurance policy is a contract between the parties and should be construed using the general rules of interpretation of contracts set forth in the Civil Code. LeBlanc v. Aysenne, 2005-0297, p. 3 (La.1/19/06), 921 So.2d 85, 89; Edwards v. Daugherty, 2003-2103 & 2104, p. 11 (La.10/1/04), 883 So.2d 932, 940; Cadwallader v. Allstate Insurance Co., 2002-1637, p. 3 (La.6/27/03), 848 So.2d 577, 580; Louisiana Insurance Guaranty Association v. Interstate Fire & Casualty Co., 1993-0911, p. 5 (La.1/14/94), 630 So.2d 759, 763. Though there are numerous well-settled interpretive principles specific to insurance policies, for present purposes, one is especially pertinent: "When the words of an insurance contract are clear and explicit and lead to no absurd consequences, no further interpretation may be made in search of the parties' intent and courts must enforce the contract as written." Sims v. Mulhearn Funeral Home, Inc., 2007-0054, p. 8 (La.5/22/07), 956 So.2d 583, 589, citing LSA-C.C. art. 2046.

In the record before us, Top Hatch indicated in a discovery response that it "installs leather interiors and performs repairs to sunroofs." While it might be said that Top Hatch's business involves both installation and repairs-undeniably, engaging in repairs is part of its business. The driver from such a business fits within the contractually excluded category of "repair shop" drivers. In determining the applicability of automobile business exclusions, we find it was error for the appellate court to myopically focus on the fact that the vehicle was being driven in anticipation of installing the seats instead of focusing on the fact that the business itself was engaged in repairs. The conditions for the exclusion have therefore been met, and from a purely contractual standpoint, the exclusion would be given effect. See Sims, 2007-0054 at 8-9, 956 So.2d at 589 ("Courts lack the authority to alter the terms of insurance contracts under the guise of contractual interpretation when the policy's provisions are couched in unambiguous terms.").

This case, however, calls upon us not only to contractually interpret the automobile business exclusion, but also to evaluate the effect of the exclusion based on relevant statutory provisions which recite the public policy of Louisiana. As we have previously observed: "exclusions contained within the policy that conflict with statutes or public policy will not be enforced." Marcus v. Hanover Ins. Co., 98-2040, p. 4 (La.6/4/99), 740 So.2d 603, 606.

The court's search for the public policy governing automobile insurance policies, therefore, must begin with the statutes enacted by the legislature. We have previously found: "The Louisiana Motor Vehicle Safety Responsibility Law, LSA-R.S. 32:851 through LSA-R.S. 32:1043, sets forth a mandatory, comprehensive scheme to provide financial protection to those involved in motor vehicle accidents." Hawkins v. Redmon, 2009-2418, p. 4 (La.7/6/10), 42 So.3d 360, 362. This protective statutory scheme not only mandates that owners of motor vehicles obtain insurance coverage, but these comprehensive statutes also mandate many of the contractual terms of insurance policies. Hawkins, 2009-2418 at 5, 42 So.3d at 363. For example, there is a statutory requirement for insurance policies to provide minimal dollar amounts of coverage for accidents. Id., citing LSA-R.S. 32:861.

Importantly, there is also a statutory requirement for insurance policies to designate what drivers are covered. LSA-R.S. 32:900(B)(2) provides:

In applying LSA-R.S. 32:900(B)(2) to the facts of this case, we begin as we must with the words of the statute itself.

Hawkins, 2009-2418 at 9, 42 So.3d at 365.

Under the plain language of LSA-R.S. 32:900(B)(2), there is a mechanism for motor vehicle liability policies to cover not only the insured specifically named in the policy, but also to cover any other driver who drives with the permission of the named insured. From the legislature's choice of the word "shall" in LSA-R.S. 32:900(B)(2), we are bound to conclude that the mechanism for coverage of permissive drivers is not optional, but mandatory. See Borel v. Young, 2007-0419 (La.11/27/07), 989 So.2d 42, quoting BLACK'S LAW DICTIONARY, 1375 (6th ed.1990)5 and citing Pittman Construction Co. v. Housing Authority of Opelousas, 167 F.Supp. 517, 523 n. 38 (W.D.La.1958), aff'd, 264 F.2d 695 (5th Cir.1959) ("The word `shall' is ordinarily imperative, of similar effect and import with the word `must,' and inconsistent with the idea of discretion.").

The language within an insurance policy which fulfills the requirement of LSA-R.S. 32:900(B)(2) is "commonly known as the statutory omnibus clause." Simms v. Butler, 1997-0416, p. 3 (La.12/2/97), 702 So.2d 686, 688. The requirement for omnibus coverage for drivers who use the insured's vehicle with permission is so crucial to Louisiana's public policy that "La. R.S. 32:900(B)(2) is incorporated into every policy of insurance to which it is applicable, as if it were written in the policy itself." Id.

Farm Bureau's insurance policy has an omnibus clause,6 but the automobile business exclusion quoted earlier — if given effect — would negate the liability coverage afforded under the omnibus clause. Therefore, the automobile business exclusion and the omnibus insured coverage required by LSA-R.S. 32:900(B)(2) are in direct conflict. Faced with this conflict, this court must choose to enforce the statute by striking down the conflicting exclusion. See Marcus, 98-2040 at 4, 740 So.2d at 606 ("Any policy provision that narrows or restricts statutorily-mandated coverage will not be enforced.").

In Marcus, we struck down a more general "business use exclusion" and noted that the "automobile business exclusion [is] another use exclusion similar to" the general "business use exclusion." Marcus, 98-2040 at 5, 740 So.2d at 607. We cited court of appeal decisions from the First, Third, Fourth, and Fifth Circuits holding that the automobile business exclusion "violates public policy because it conflicts with the so-called `omnibus clause.'" We explained that "[t]hese courts found that because the exclusion conflicted with the statutory provisions mandating compulsory insurance for all drivers who use the insured's vehicle with his permission, the exclusion was unenforceable." Marcus, 98-2040 at 6, 740 So.2d at 607, citing McCrossen v. Star Auto Service, Inc., 628 So.2d 1350 (La.App. 5 Cir.1993); Arnaud v. Commercial Union Ins. Co., 594 So.2d 992 (La.App. 3 Cir.1992); Louisiana Farm Bureau Cas. Ins. Co. v. Darjean, 554 So.2d 1376 (La.App. 1 Cir.1989); and Rudison v. Richard, 526 So.2d 369 (La. App. 4 Cir.1988).

After Marcus, and against the great weight of these authorities we favorably cited therein, the Fifth Circuit recently enforced an exclusion similar to the automobile business exclusion here. In Burgos v. Star Auto Service, Inc., 07-229 (La. App. 5 Cir. 11/13/07), 973 So.2d 29, plaintiff's car was rear-ended by a vehicle driven by Joseph Margavio, who was employed by Star Auto, which had been hired to repair the vehicle. Mr. Margavio was test-driving the vehicle owned by Carmen Tessitore. At the time, Ms. Tessitore had liability insurance issued by Electric Insurance Company, and Star Auto had a "garagekeepers" liability policy issued by Lafayette Insurance Company. The Electric Insurance Company insurance policy on Ms. Tessitore's vehicle contained an exclusion for "road testing and delivery." Burgos, 07-229 at 5, 973 So.2d at 31.

Noting that in Marcus a general business exclusion was sought to be enforced against the named insured when driving his own vehicle while at work, the Burgos court found "Marcus ... is limited to its facts, that is to say, to cases in which the relevant carrier was invoking the business use exclusion against the named insured with regard to the operation of the owned vehicle."7 Burgos, 07-229 at 7, 973 So.2d at 33. Because Electric Insurance Company was not attempting to enforce an exclusion against the vehicle's operation by Ms. Tessitore, the named insured, the Burgos court reasoned that Electric Insurance Company's "road testing and delivery" exclusion must be enforced. See Burgos, supra.

Here, Farm Bureau relies on Burgos to support Farm Bureau's argument that the automobile business exclusion should be upheld. In its motion for summary judgment, Farm Bureau seeks to enforce the exclusion not for the named insured's operation of the vehicle, but for Ms. Boudreaux's permissive operation of the vehicle on behalf of Top Hatch.8 According to Farm Bureau's argument, Burgos stands for the proposition that only the situation in Marcus, i.e., when the insurer seeks to enforce an exclusion against the named insured, can public policy be violated.

Farm Bureau's argument is misplaced. While it is true that an insurer may violate public policy by taking a position contrary to the interests of the insured after a claim has been made,9 the public policy we must observe here lies at the origin of the insurance relationship, i.e., within the insurance policy itself. As we have noted above and in Marcus, LSA-R.S 32:900(B)(2) requires that insurance policies provide coverage for permissive drivers. To the extent Burgos upheld an automobile business exclusion in a liability policy with omnibus coverage mandated by LSA-R.S 32:900(B)(2), but the court did not observe the requirement of providing coverage for a permissive driver, Burgos is hereby overruled.

In Marcus, and here, we have seen practical effects stemming from an insurance policy exclusion that violate the requirement for omnibus coverage. For example, in Marcus we noted that if a general "business exclusion" were enforced, then "motorists would be allowed to drive in and out of coverage, depending on the purpose of a particular excursion, which would wreak havoc on the legislature's goal in enacting an orderly and comprehensive scheme designed for the protection of injured victims of careless drivers." Marcus, 98-2040 at 8, 740 So.2d at 608. Here, if the automobile business exclusion were found enforceable, the exclusion would eliminate coverage irrespective of whether the repair shop had coverage. Such a result is contrary to the public policy the legislature has described in the direct action statute, LSA-R.S. 22:1269(D): "all liability policies within their terms and limits are executed for the benefit of all injured persons and their survivors or heirs to whom the insured is liable; and ... it is the purpose of all liability policies to give protection and coverage to all insureds, whether they are named insured or additional insureds under the omnibus clause[.]"10

The automobile business exclusion, commentators have noted, "can rather easily conflict with the omnibus clause; any provision which is in derogation of that clause should be construed narrowly as a matter of public policy." LEE R. RUSS & THOMAS F. SEGALLA, 8A COUCH ON INSURANCE 3d, § 120:78 (2005). In our public policy analysis, we find that Farm Bureau's automobile business exclusion conflicts with LSA-R.S. 32:900(B)(2), as these commentators predicted it "rather easily" could.

We also note the commentators' predicted result within numerous other jurisdictions, as the following courts have found automobile business exclusions of various formulations to conflict with public policy: Universal Underwriters Ins. Co. v. American Motorists Ins. Co., 541 F.Supp. 755 (D.C.Miss., 1982) (Erie doctrine analysis applying Mississippi law); Universal Underwriters Ins. Co. v. Dairyland Mut. Ins. Co., 5 Ariz.App. 174, 424 P.2d 465 (1967), vacated on other grounds, 102 Ariz. 518, 433 P.2d 966 (1967), overruled on other grounds by Hartford Accident & Indem. Co. v. Aetna Casualty & Sur. Co., 164 Ariz. 286, 792 P.2d 749 (1990) ("Universal is overruled to the extent it rejects equitable subrogation."); Exchange Cas. & Sur. Co. v. Scott, 56 Cal.2d 613, 15 Cal.Rptr. 897, 364 P.2d 833 (1961); Universal Underwriters Ins. Co. v. Travelers Ins. Co., 669 A.2d 45 (Del.1995);11 State Farm Mut. Auto. Ins. Co. v. Smith, 197 Ill.2d 369, 259 Ill.Dec. 18, 757 N.E.2d 881 (2001); DeWitt v. Young, 229 Kan. 474, 625 P.2d 478 (1981); Distler v. Reuther Jeep Eagle, 14 S.W.3d 179 (Mo.App. E.D. 2000); Nationwide Mut. Ins. Co. v. Aetna Life & Cas. Co., 283 N.C. 87, 194 S.E.2d 834 (1973); Tapp v. Perciful, 120 P.3d 480 (Okla.2005); American Mut. Fire Ins. Co. v. Aetna Casualty & Surety Co., 303 S.C. 301, 400 S.E.2d 147 (1991). Appearing to represent a minority view, the following courts have upheld automobile business exclusions as not violating public policy: Colonial Penn Ins. Co. v. Castillo, 362 So.2d 88 (Fla.App.1978); United Services Auto. Ass'n v. Reilly, 122 Or.App. 459, 858 P.2d 457 (1993); Murray v. Remuck, 108 R.I. 179, 273 A.2d 491 (1971); Lumbermens Mut. Casualty Co. v. Indemnity Ins. Co. of North America, 186 Va. 204, 42 S.E.2d 298 (1947); Gulmire v. St. Paul Fire and Marine Ins. Co., 269 Wis.2d 501, 674 N.W.2d 629 (Wis.App.2003), writ denied, 271 Wis.2d 111, 679 N.W.2d 546 (2004).

In our review of statutory public policy considerations, we also see that the legislature has deemed it advisable within LSA-R.S. 32:900 to allow certain exceptions to omnibus coverage. "An owner may exclude a named person as an insured under a commercial policy if the owner obtains and maintains in force another policy of motor vehicle insurance which provides coverage for the person so excluded." LSA-R.S. 32:900(B)(2)(d). Also, the legislature has allowed insurance policies to "exclude from coverage the named insured and the spouse of the named insured. The insurer and an insured may also exclude from coverage any other named person who is a resident of the same household as the named insured." LSA-R.S. 32:900(L)(1).

Because the legislature has listed these specific exclusions, "the time honored maxim, expressio unius et exclusio alterius ... teaches us that when the legislature specifically enumerates a series of things, the legislature's omission of other items, which could have been easily included in the statute, is deemed intentional." Theriot v. Midland Risk Ins. Co., 1995-2895, p. 4 (La.5/20/97), 694 So.2d 184, 187. The expressio unius maxim instructs us here that since an automobile business exclusion is not one of the legislature's enumerated exceptions to LSA-R.S. 32:900, Farm Bureau's automobile business exclusion is not allowed.

As a final consideration, we note that "an automobile business" exclusion is a species of "[b]usiness use-related exclusions" which "may be phrased in any number of ways." RUSS & SEGALLA, 8A COUCH ON INSURANCE 3d, § 120:22. Having concluded in Marcus that the general business exclusion is offensive to this state's public policy, logic counsels the court here, that because the automobile business exclusion is a subset of what we have already found offensive to public policy, that Farm Bureau's automobile business exclusion cannot be enforced.

Having concluded that the automobile business exclusion cannot be enforced, we return to the procedural context in which this matter arose. In its motion for summary judgment, Farm Bureau urged that "if the Farm Bureau automobile business exclusion is found to be contrary to public policy, Farm Bureau's coverage is limited to the statutory minimum limits of coverage of $10,000.00/$20,000.00." The district court did not reach the issue of whether coverage should be reduced to the statutory minimum, because the court granted Farm Bureau its preferred relief of enforcing the automobile business exclusion and dismissing Farm Bureau from the lawsuit. The court of appeal did not reach the limits of coverage issue because when that court reversed the district court's ruling, the court of appeal did not find Farm Bureau's exclusion unenforceable on public policy grounds, but on contractual grounds. Though Canal Indemnity and Top Hatch, in their brief to this court, urge that "coverage afforded by the Farm Bureau policy should be the stated policy limits of $100,000," Canal Indemnity and Top Hatch did not seek a writ to this court on the limits of coverage issue. Farm Bureau did not raise the issue of the limits of coverage in its writ application to this court, and Farm Bureau has not briefed the issue. We do not, therefore, reach the limits of coverage issue. See, e.g., Agilus Health (Taylor) v. Accor Lodging North America, 2010-0800, p. 6 n. 4, 52 So.3d 68 (La.11/30/10) ("because this issue was not raised in connection to this writ application, we will not reach it in this opinion.").

CONCLUSION

Because the insurance policy at issue contains an exclusion for a driver engaged in an automobile business, but that exclusion conflicts with the legislated public policy of affording coverage to permissive drivers, the automobile business exclusion cannot be enforced in this matter. The judgment of the district court granting Farm Bureau's motion for summary judgment and dismissing Farm Bureau from this lawsuit is therefore reversed. To the extent the court of appeal found the automobile business exclusion unenforceable, the decision of the court of appeal is hereby affirmed. This matter is remanded to the district court for further proceedings consistent with this opinion.

AFFIRMED AND REMANDED.

JOHNSON, Justice, concurs.

GUIDRY, Justice, concurs in part, dissents in part, and assigns reasons.

GUIDRY, Justice, concurs in part, dissents in part, and assigns reasons.

I agree with the majority that the automobile business exclusion of the Mississippi Farm Bureau policy applied to the business activity in which Top Hatch, Inc., was engaged, i.e., the after-market installation of leather upholstery. Thus, I agree the court of appeal erred in finding the exclusion did not apply as a matter of contractual interpretation.

However, I disagree with the majority that enforcement of the automobile business exclusion under the facts of this case necessarily violates Louisiana's public policy with regard to mandatory automobile liability coverage and permissive drivers. As this court explained in Marcus v. Hanover Ins. Co., 98-2040, p. 8 (La.6/4/99), 740 So.2d 603, 608, the "purpose of automobile liability coverage is the protection of the injured person and the coverage and protection of the insured. ..." I disagree with the majority that Marcus sets forth a broad principle that automobile business exclusions will generally always violate public policy with regard to permissive drivers as expressed in La.Rev.Stat. 32:900(B)(2).

Instead, I would distinguish Marcus on its facts, as did the court in Burgos v. Star Auto Service, Inc., 07-229 (La.App. 5 Cir. 11/13/07), 973 So.2d 29, writ denied, 2007-2406 (La.2/15/08), 976 So.2d 179. As in Burgos, the insurer here, Mississippi Farm Bureau, is not invoking the business exclusion against its named insured, Gregory Hyneman, with regard to the operation of the owned vehicle; instead, the insurer seeks to invoke the exclusion against a third party, defendant Deborah Boudreaux, who is otherwise covered by a garage liability policy issued to her employer, Top Hatch, by Canal Indemnity Company. In my view, "the goal of all liability policies, which is to benefit injured persons and to give protection and coverage to all insureds ...," Marcus, 98-2040, p. 8, 740 So.2d at 608, is simply not impinged by enforcement of the automobile business exclusion under the facts of this case. Because the driver of the vehicle was insured under her employer's liability policy, I see no need to determine which policy is primary when an otherwise valid exclusion applies. Accordingly, I would reverse the court of appeal's decision and reinstate the judgment of the trial court sustaining Mississippi Farm Bureau's motion for summary judgment.
