Dornoch Ltd and Others v Westminster International Bv and Others: AdCt 29 Apr 2009

The vessel, a mega trailer having been lost, the underwriters claimed rights in it having paid under the policies, and the owners tendered notice of abandonment to the hull and machinery underwriters. The next day underwriters declined to accept notice of abandonment but agreed to place the assured in the same position as if a writ/claim form had been issued that day. This is time honoured and common if not universal practice.
