Why Do Insurers Pay Attention On The Terms Of An Domestic Club?

One of the principal grounds for rejecting insurance claims is that the claim is not covered by the terms of the policy, or is specifically excluded. The rule that coverage provisions should be interpreted broadly and exclusion clauses should be interpreted narrowly is really just a corollary of the Contra Proferentem rule which applies in the event of ambiguity i.e. it is the insurer who likely drafted the insurance contract and construing coverage provisions broadly, or exclusion clauses narrowly, will be to the detriment of the insurer as the party who drafted the contract. The construction of exclusion clauses and coverage provisions helps justify the objective intention of the contract. This is the intention which the court considers, a reasonable person in the position of the contracting parties, would have had. It is submitted that coverage provisions should be broad and encompassing and exclusion clauses should be narrow. However, before such a conclusion is reached, this paper will aim to justify the reasoning behind such a claim analysing arguments for and against such a proposition, drawing upon the landmark case Darlington Futures Ltd v Delco Australia Pty Ltd to help relate the discussion to issues raised by such considerations.

National Surety justifies its disregard of the Waivers because—it contends—WCS forfeited its right to enforce the Waivers upon the execution of the 2007 settlement agreement. This position, however, is couched on the mistaken premise that the Waivers are “rights, claims, debts, liens, demands, [or] actions of any nature whatsoever.” (Appellant’s Brief at p. 9). To the contrary, the Waivers bargained for in the AIA Contract operate as immediate discharges of Metropolitan’s right to pursue claims that are covered by insurance. Accordingly, the Waivers are units of consideration that Metropolitan tendered when the AIA Contract was executed. Therefore, irrespective of whether the 2007 settlement is a substitute contract—it is not—the

Hocker and CIC mutually entered a contract which is valid and continued to be effective with responsibility and benefit. Each party voluntarily executed the contract and committed to it. CIC has never denied the validity of the executed contract and CIC has never substantiated any failure or noncompliance on Mr. Hocker’s part. On the other side, Mr. Hocker had put all his trust in CIC, fulfilled his contractual duty, paying all premium timely and complied with all terms and condition of the policy holder.
