The claimant appealed from the striking out of his claim. He said that he had burned a car belonging to the defendant at his request. The court had said that if the request had been made as asserted then he must have known that the arrangement would form the basis of an intended insurance fraud.
Held: The appeal failed, though the court should be slow to look to find prima facie dishonesty at a preliminary hearing.
