Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the insurer’s pleadings contained a judicial confession that the loss was covered
Decisione estratta
No. The challenged statements concerned a late-notification defence and did not amount to a confession that a covered insured loss existed.
Motivazione estratta
The passages, read in context, addressed forfeiture for delayed notice rather than an admission on coverage. Moreover, whether the conduct fell within the policy was a legal question, not a factual one suitable for judicial confession.
