Student Injury Plowing Suit Against Insurer and Capital Sum Guarantee
Synthèse Legislator
Généré par l'IAAn agricultural student injured his foot during plowing and sued his school's civil liability insurer for damages and the insurer providing a capital sum guarantee to students for bodily injury. The appellate court dismissed the direct claim against the insurance company as inadmissible because the action against the school, upon which the claim against the insurer was consequently based, had been rejected, and it refused payment of the capital sum solely on the ground that the school's liability was not established. The High Court quashed this decision, reasoning that by denying the payment of the capital sum solely because the school's liability was not retained, the Court of Appeal failed to provide a legal basis for its decision regarding the contractual claim for the capital sum.
