LEON AND OTHERS v. CASEY.

(1932) 43 Ll L Rep 69

COURT OF APPEAL.

Before Lord Justice Scrutton, Lord Justice Greer and Lord Justice Slesser.

Practice - Discovery of documents - Affidavit of ship's papers - Open cover - Issue of marine policy with "warehouse to warehouse" clause covering transit from Cairo to Jaffa via Alexandria - Goods lost by lorry fire on journey from Cairo to Alexandria - Appeal against order requiring assured to make affidavit of ship's papers - Held, following Harding v. Bussell, [1905] 2 K.B. 83, that the right to an order for ship's papers applied where a claim was made under a policy which was substantially in the form of a marine policy, even though the claim concerned land transit preceding or subsequent to the marine adventure - Appeal dismissed.
