Court dismissed appeal against insurance premium claim, ruling seller must notify insurer of vehicle sale to claim refund.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Court of Appeal dismissed the defendant's appeal against a judgment ordering payment of an unpaid insurance premium. The defendant argued that since the insured vehicle was sold and the policy terminated, the premium should be reduced proportionally. The court held that the defendant failed to notify the insurer of the sale and did not request a refund, making the claim unenforceable. Consequently, the full premium remained due as the defendant waived the right to a proportional reduction.
