Shipping – Vessel Lost – Insurance – Flag – Transfer
This case involved an claim insurance claim for a vessel which had been lost at sea. At issue was the claimant's title to sue, as transference had not been done correctly. It was also stated that the mere mention in the policy of the flag, without emphasising its importance made it a non-essential condition and it could not be used to justify failure to pay on the policy.
