The insurer appealed against an order requiring it to disclose all policies of insurance and associated documents relating to the policy under which a claim was being made.
Held: A claim for an indemnity under a contract of insurance though in respect of personal injuries was not itself an action for damages for personal injuries and so no order could be made for pre-action discovery.
