Mann and Another v Lexington Insurance Co: CA 29 Nov 2000

Where damage was caused to stores in Indonesia by riots occurring on different days, these were, for the purposes of the insurance contract, separate occurrences, and a clause limiting the sum payable per occurrence was accordingly to be applied separately to each event. It was a question of fact in each case. There was a ‘retrocessionaire’ clause which provided for aggregation in specified circumstances, and this was not to be extended by implication generally.
