https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=307959 An exclusion clause in a jeweller's block insurance policy was held inapplicable because the insurer had to strictly prove its conditions, including actual entrustment of the jewellery to the customer. Mere permission for an unknown customer to inspect goods in the shop did not amount to legal possession or a relationship of trust, and theft could not be equated with criminal breach of trust for this purpose.
