CLAUSE IN INSURANCE POLICY
UNLICENSED DRIVER’S ACCIDENT. (United Press Association.) Wellington, September 10. The framing of a clause in an insurance policy issued jointly to a firm selling a motor car under a hire-purchase agreement and the buyer was the subject of a reserved judgment given in the Supreme Court by Mr Justice Ostler, who ruled that the fact that the buyer was not the holder of a licence when he was involved in a collision did not, on a reasonable construction of the words of the clause absolve the insurance company from liability. This question of law arose from a damages action with Consant Fred Linekar and the Hartford Insurance Co., Ltd., which was submitted to the Supreme Court.
