INSURANCE CLAIM FAILS
COMPENSATION FOR SICKNESS [ Per Press Association. ] WELLINGTON, Dec. 2. Reserved decision was given by Mr Page, S-Af., in the case in which George Thomas Maslcm proceeded against the London Lancashire Fire Insurance Company, for additional compensation which plaintiff considered due him under an accident sickness policy taken out with the company. The Alagistrate stated that under the policy it provided that plaintiff should receive insurance money should he be rendered totally unable to attend business of any kind and bo necessarily continuously confined to his house as a result, inter-alia, of non tubercular pneumonia. Plaintiff contracted pneumonia and as a result his heart was affected. He had been paid full compensation for a certain time and part compensation for a further four weeks, but claimed full compensation for the full time of his illness.
The Alagistrate held that the evidence fell short of establishing that plaintiff was totally unable to attend to business of any kind and "was continuously confined to his house, as there were periods when he went to Auckland for a change and on a motor trip to Wanganui. Air Page, therefore, entered judgment for the defendant company with costs.
