Key legal question
Whether travelling through Pakistan despite official travel warnings was an absolute hazardous undertaking under Art. 39 UVG and Art. 50 UVV.
Extracted holding
Yes. The journey knowingly exposed the insured to a very serious danger to life and limb; it was an absolute hazardous undertaking and, in a particularly serious form, justified refusal of cash benefits.
Extracted reasoning
The court relied on the EDA's explicit warning against tourist travel in Pakistan and especially Balochistan. Because the insured knew of the danger yet still crossed Pakistan on both legs of the trip, no reasonable risk-reduction measures could sufficiently neutralize the danger.
