HARBOURFIELD ENGINEERING CO. LTD v. FALCON INSURANCE CO. (HONG KONG) LTD

Citation

HARBOURFIELD ENGINEERING CO. LTD v. FALCON INSURANCE CO. (HONG KONG) LTD
Court

Court of Appeal
Case number

CACV275/2003

The appeal is dismissed because the insurer's repudiation was unjustified: the conviction related to a discrete repair not maintenance, there was no proven causal or relevant link between that repair or statutory breach and the arson death, and no event arose that would reasonably require notification under the policy, so the insurer could not validly deny indemnity.
