A C Ward & Sons Ltd v Catlin (Five) Ltd & Ors [2009]
Commercial Court, 3 December 2009
This case was the latest in a number of recent decisions concerning breach of warranty in insurance contracts. The claimant was a member of the Booker Group of companies, operating (amongst other things) a warehouse in West Thurrock, Essex. During the weekend of 17 and 18 March 2007, a quantity of cigarettes and alcohol was stolen from the warehouse by burglars, who had cut through the first floor level of the building, leading them to a mezzanine level where the stock was stored.
