Stuart Wilkie (AP) v Direct Line Insurance Plc: ScHC 19 Sep 2001

The pursuer sought payment under his insurance after his house burnt down. The defenders said the claim was time barred, and that there had been material non-disclosure. The issue was whether payments made after the fire had acknowledged the claim so as to extend the limitation period.
Held: Any qualification of the payments was not so clear as to make them properly without prejudice and the limitation challenge failed.
