LAW
Previous Claims Need Not Be Disclosed
HIGH COURT RULING
19
to
Mr. Justice MacKinnon, in the King's Bench Division, recently, held that an insurance company
entitled
repudiate not lability because an insured per- son has not disclosed previous claims made against other com- panies, or refusals by other com- panies, when effecting a policy.
The defence claimed that an in- surer was bound to disclose this without anr question on the matter being asked.
↑
His Lordship granted to Mr. Albert Edward Ewer, of Mare- street, E, declaration that are insurance held by him in respect of a garage and contents at Whiston-street. Haggerston, E., was valid and subsisting..
A
The defendants were the National Employers' Mutual Gene- ral Insurance Association. Limited. St. Mary Axe, EC. who had in- sured the property for £6,100, fire occurred at the premises in May, 1935, in respect of which Mr. Ewer claimed £1,123 25. Bd., and the insurance company repudiated
lability.
The company alleged that. Mr. Ewer had fraudulently exaggerat- ed his claim and that, under the terms of the policy, the company were not liable. They also con- tended that Mr. Ever had falled to disclose that he had pre- vlously claimed on insurance com- pantes, and the other companies had declined to grant or continue policies,
