CENVEN, INC., et al., Plaintiffs, v. BETHLEHEM STEEL CORPORATION et al., Defendants. BETHLEHEM STEEL CORPORATION, Third-Party Plaintiff-Respondent,

MEMORANDUM. Order affirmed, with costs.

(See Wagman v American Fid. Cas. Co., 304 N.Y. 490, esp 494-495; Lamberti v Anaco Equip. Corp., 16 A.D.2d 121, esp 123-124.) It would be unwise to proliferate fine distinctions from and exceptions to the now judicially determined language "loading and unloading", absent other qualifying language establishing a contrary meaning or ambiguity, either in an indemnification agreement or in an insurance policy. Moreover, the doctrine of stare decisis should not be departed from except under compelling circumstances (cf. People v Hobson, 39 N.Y.2d 479, 487-491; Matter of Eckart, 39 N.Y.2d 493, 498-500; see, also, Matter of Garwitt, 41 N.Y.2d 845).

Chief Judge BREITEL and Judges JASEN, GABRIELLI, JONES, WACHTLER, FUCHSBERG and COOKE concur in a memorandum.

Order affirmed.
