2009For example, in Pursell Construction, the Iowa Supreme Court refused to adopt the minority rule because the “fundamental nature of a comprehensive general liability policy” would then hold the insurer as “a guarantor of the insured’s performance of the contract,” and the insurance policy would thus take on the attributes of a performance bond. 596 N.W.2d at 71 ; see also Kvaerner, 908 A.2d at 899 (the minority rule improperly *536 converts an insurance policy into a performance bond).
