Key legal question
Whether the insured was entitled to default interest on military insurance benefits from 1 March 2005.
Extracted holding
Default interest was not owed because the insurer did not act dilatorily or unlawfully within the meaning of the Military Insurance Act.
Extracted reasoning
The file showed genuine doubts about causation and the insurer relied on an expert report; although the insurer ultimately lost on the merits, its conduct was not grossly deficient or unlawful.
