    Enc.7 allowed and recovery action struck out because (1) JPJ insurance record lacked probative weight and did not identify vehicle model; (2) Defendant proved policy cancellation and surrender of insurance certificate before accident displacing insurer's liability under s96(2)(c)(i); and (3) interlocutory and final judgments in the liability suit are not valid against the deceased because plaintiff failed to substitute the deceased under mandatory O15 r7(2) and thereby deprived the deceased's representative of the right to be heard, breaching natural justice.
