- HCA328/2008
The insurer was contractually entitled to investigate and settle the five claims and provided unchallenged evidence of investigation and use of external adjusters; the defendant did not and could not assert that the insurer failed to act in good faith; consideration of insurer's legal costs, while capable of influencing decisions and meriting scrutiny, did not establish breach here; therefore the appeal against summary judgment was dismissed and judgment for the insurer was affirmed.
