The plaintiffs brought a motion to compel answers to refusals from the examination for discovery of the defendant insurer's representative.
The underlying action involved a marine insurance claim for contaminated fish, which the insurer denied based on a process exclusion clause.
The Master ordered the insurer to make reasonable inquiries of a former underwriter and to answer questions about similar claims.
However, the Master refused to order production of a legal opinion obtained by the insurer, finding it was protected by solicitor-client privilege and that no waiver had occurred.
