JOINT POLICY
INSURANCE COMPANY LIABLE [Per Uniied Press Association.] WELLINGTON, September 10. The framing of a clause in an insurance policy issued jointly to a firm selling a motor car under a hire-purchase agreement and to the buyer, was the subject of a reserved judgment given in the Supreme Court to-day by Mr Justice Ostler, who ruled that th© fact that the buyer was not the holder of the license when he was involved in a collision did not, on a reasonable construction of the words of the clause, absojye the insurance company from liability. This question of law arose from a damages action, which, with the consent of Fred. Linekar and the Hartford Insurance Company Ltd., was submitted to the Supreme Court.
