Description
Statement of the duty owed by the insurer under a policy of motor vehicle liability insurance to the insured in exercising
the discretion given to the insurer by the policy respecting settlement of claims made against the insured. [186-187] In a suit in equity by the insured under a policy of motor vehicle liability insurance against the insurer seeking to hold
the insurer liable for failure to settle an action of tort for personal injuries against the insured in which, after a trial
resulting in a verdict for the injured person in an amount well within the policy limit and an order for a new trial unless
the parties agreed to a substantial additur, there were unsuccessful negotiations for a settlement in an amount within the
policy limit and a second trial resulting in a verdict for the injured person in an amount far in excess of the policy limit,
evidence respecting the insurer's handling of the matter and dealings with the insured did not show to be plainly wrong a
finding by the trial Judge that the insurer acted in good faith and without negligence and justified a decree dismissing the
bill. [188-189]
