Mailman v Bridgewater
Because the lease expressly reserved ownership and title in the lessor and contained an indemnity clause allocating the risk of loss to the lessee, and because the insurance payout did not overcompensate the lessor for its loss, the lessor was entitled to the insurance proceeds and the claimant had no entitlement to any portion of the settlement.
