Court found plaintiff gave timely notice by telephone on 18/5/71 and appointed surveyor; although strict compliance with some policy clauses was lacking, that non-compliance (except as to five crates damaged in sea transit) did not prejudice insurer because insurer, aware of the breaches, proceeded to solicit claim particulars and issued a claim form without reserving forfeiture; that conduct amounted to waiver or induced estoppel; accordingly insurer liable for damages subject to proof of quantum before the Registrar.
