RADIANT INSURANCE COMPANY LTD V NTEGEREJUMUREMYI

The insurer is liable for half of the compensation since both the insured driver and the cyclist contributed to the accident; the insurer's failure to request a 'contre-expertise' means the claimant's medical assessment is binding for compensation purposes.

NYIRAGATO NABANDI v SONARWA

SONARWA is liable to pay compensation to the applicants because the insurance contract expressly provides for apportionment of compensation when the number of passengers exceeds the insured limit. The contract terms override the general principle of non-liability for breach, and the formula for apportionment must be applied. Only dependents who prove dependency are entitled to economic damages, and other damages are calculated per statutory and contractual provisions.
