- Court
- High Court
The application for discovery of insurer reserve records is dismissed because the plaintiff's pleaded case seeks declarations for reinstatement (not immediate quantum), reserve entries are inexact internal estimates not relevant to the pleaded issues, and Prattley is factually distinguishable; reserves are not shown to be relevant to the specific defences of prejudice from late claim notification.
