Insurance – Road Traffic Accident – Blood Money – Personal Injury – Condition of Vehicle – Criminal Case – Insurance Company liability
This case was brought by an insurance company which wanted to be reimbursed for money it had paid out in damages and for blood money after an insured vehicle was involved in a fatal accident. The key issue was whether the policy was void. The criminal court had confirmed the vehicle's poor condition had been a cause of the accident. Vehicle condition, was a condition of the policy.
