The Court held that the High Court correctly found as a fact the accident occurred before the policy was issued and that coverage commences from the time of issuance as stated in the cover note; consequently the insurer was entitled to a declaration under s.96(3) RTA that the policy did not cover the accident. Originating summons was the proper procedure because there was no triable dispute of fact on the critical timing issue. Arguments on waiver, uberrima fides and Article 8 discrimination were rejected.

Section 13(1) SOSMA bars bail for security offences and the only exceptions are the three specified categories in s13(2) (persons under 18, women, sick or infirm) subject to the proviso excluding offences under Chapter VIA Penal Code and Act 770; Section 388 CPC is displaced by the specific SOSMA provision; the term 'woman' is not read to include men; the applicant's medical condition (GERD and related complaints) does not amount to 'sick or infirm' within s13(2)(c) to justify bail; accordingly the bail application is dismissed.

On the evidence (cover note and confirmation showing issue time 11:04:55am and corroborative police reports/statutory declaration placing accident at about 10:00am), the policy was issued after the accident and therefore was not in force at the time; under s84 FSA and authority the policy takes effect on issuance when premium paid; no material triable factual dispute existed to require viva voce evidence; therefore declaration under s96(3) RTA that the policy was void/unenforceable for the accident was granted.
