Abstract

The High Court of Australia ruled in CIC Insurance Ltd. v. Bankstown Football Club that section 58 of the Insurance Contracts Act 1984 did not apply and that a statutory contract was not formed when the insurer incorrectly cancelled a fire insurance policy. The insurance policy's indemnity clause limited the insurer's liability if the insured did not rebuild or repair promptly. The Court found that the indemnity clause was applicable and that the insurer's liability was limited to the indemnity value at the time of the first of the two fires involved.
