https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=192314 Under the Motor Vehicles Act, the insurer cannot avoid third-party liability merely by showing that the driver lacked a valid, effective, or appropriate licence, including where the licence is fake, expired, or a learner's licence. The insurer must prove a breach of the policy condition by the insured and show that the insured failed to exercise reasonable care; technical or minor licensing defects do not defeat the claim. The Claims Tribunal may also direct the insurer to satisfy the award first and recover the amount from the owner or driver, and it may decide the inter se liability between insurer and insured within the compensation proceedings. en-us Mon, 05 Jan 2004 00:00:00 +0530 Thu, 27 Jun 2024 17:38:00 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=192314 Under the Motor Vehicles Act, the insurer cannot avoid third-party liability merely by showing that the driver lacked a valid, effective, or appropriate licence, including where the licence is fake, expired, or a learner's licence.
