Quote of the Month
"[71] The appellant was travelling pursuant to his contract of employment with the aquaculture company at the time of the accident. Evidence relating to his employment and the directive from his employer to travel to Desaru was established. He was not a mere passenger carried in the vehicle. Hence, the appellant ought not be treated differently from any other ‘third party’ victim who obtains a judgment against the insured in respect of injuries sustained in a motor vehicle road accident. ... Hence, the respondent is clearly liable to indemnify the insured and concomitantly pay the appellant the judgment sum in sessions court judgement.." - Vazeer Alam FCJ Chen Boon Kwee v Berjaya Sompo Insurance Bhd [2025] 1 MLJ 158 [FC] |
