THIRD-PARTY MOTOR INSURANCE
EXCLUDED CLASSES OF CLAIMS If an employee of a transport firm, walking along the road, was struck by a vehicle owned by the firm, the firm’s third-party personal insurance would not cover any damage claim brought by the employee. This is the effect of one of the exclusions from the classes of persons covered by the Third Party Insurance Act, according to Mr J. J. 1 B. Connor, a member of the council of the .Canterbury Chamber of Commerce.
