Questão jurídica principal
Whether the respondent had standing to sue despite the leasing clause assigning insurance claims to the lessor
Decisão extraída
The assignment was valid as a conditional security assignment and had lapsed because the lessor did not pursue the insurance claim itself.
Fundamentação extraída
The clause had to be understood objectively as a conditional assignment for security purposes. The lessor's later demand against the lessee indicated that it waived pursuit of the insurer claim, so the condition for the assignment to remain effective was not met.
