COMPANY LOSES CASE Judgment for plaintiff was delivered by Mr. Justice MacGregor yesterday in the case in which the Standard Insurance Company was sued by Margaret Olive McMahon for £97, being insurance on a motor-car which was destroyed by fire on January 30. 1927. Defendants had repudiated plaintiff’s claim on the policy because they contended that she had no insurable interest in the car, or, if she had. it was of such a nature as to alter the risk, and that this position Avas not disclosed to the company at the time the insurance A\as entered into. His Honour said that the car Avas not “goods held in trust,’’ and therefore excluded in the policy, as had been contended by defendants.
