Case and Insurers

AUTHORITIES' LIABILITY
LEFT OPEN QUESTION
Decisions Turn On Different Wordings
of Policies Wilder & Robertson
Gain Their Point at Koolau-
poko Appeals.
Yesterday afternoon the Supreme
Court rendered two unanimous deel
long covering thrco of the five Insur
ance cases arising out of the Doard of
Health's burnings of property In
plaguo time. They go different ways
according to the wordings of the dif
ferent policies. Chief Justice Frear Is
author of the opinions, Justices Qal
bralth and Perry concurring.
Insurance. Tn8 nrst cnB0 ln or,,(!r
Compnny Is that of Yeo Wo Chan
Loses & Co. s. The Transat
lantic Fire Insurnneo Co. In this case
tho decision Is against the Insurance
company, which relied Its case upon
the exemption ln the policy from loss
or damage caused by civil commotion.
It Is held s'that tho circumstances set
forth In the opinion did not show that
the loss was caused by a civil commo
tion so as to exempt the insurers un
der the clause In the policy that they
stiould not bo liable for any loss or
damage caused by civil commotion."
Tho Circuit Court, Jury being waived,
had given Judgment In favor of plain
tin's for tho amount of the policy, $5000.
Exceptions by defendant nro over-ruled
by the Supremo Court.

Co. vs. Madgeburg Fire. Insurance Co.,

sidered together, as the exemption
clauses ln tho two policies aro Identi
cal. i...nc, Bothoftheso cases are
Companies decided In favor of the
Win CnscH Insurnneo companies.
Their defense was mainly ln the clauso
exempting them from louses caused "by
order of any civil authority." Tho
syllabus of the opinion Is as. follows:
"Insured, property, was destroyed by
Are which spread from other buildings
which had been set on fire by order of
the Board of Health because of Infect
tlon by bubonic plague. Tho policy
provided tha't the Insurer should 'not
bo liable for loss caUBed directly or In
directly by Invasion, Insurrection, not,
civil war or commotion, or ir.lllt'.r or
usurped power, or by ordsr of any
civil authority, or by theft'; etc., field
"The words 'directly and Indlrectl''
apply ln tho case of loss caused 'by or
der of any civil authority' as well as In
the cubo of loss caused 'by Invasion
etc.
"Loss caused directly or Iml'rct'y by
order of a civil nuthorlty Inrlm'ei Inn
of property destroyed by flro which hki
spread, unaided by any Independent,
efficient, intervening cause, from the
buildings which were ordered burned.
It Is not confined to tho loss of the par
tlcular buildings Intended to be bur:,
cd.
"To exempt the Insurer, It Is not ne
cesary that tho order of tho civil au
thority bo lawful and Justifiable In tho
particular case. It Is sufficient It tho
civil authority mnj' lawfully order
buildings burned when necessary for
purposes within the scope of Its duties
and ln the particular case nets official
ly and In good faith and within the ap
parent scopo of Its powers.
"Where buildings are set on flro by
order of a civil authority on account of
Infection by plague, and loss caused
by order of any civil authority Is ex
cepted but loss caused by plaguo Is
neither Insured against nor excepted,
the order and not tho plaguo should be
regarded as tho causa of the loss with
in the meaning of the policy."
Following are somo Interesting ob
servations from the body of tho opin
ion; Ah to "Wo do not mean to
Official Bay that the insurer
Authority WOuld bo exempt la
ovcry case Jn which a person or body
possessing civil authority might set
flro to a building, In most caBcs If n
person should causo another's building
to bo burned, ho might be taken to
have acted In his private, capacity, and
not as a civil authority, oen though
ho possessed civil authority of sumo
kind nnd purported to act In his offi
cial capacity. Hut It is Hiitllclent when,
as here, tho civil authority, tho lloara
of Health, has tho power under tho
statutes to destroy buildings when It Is
m
necessary to do this tor the public
health, and In the particular case pur
ports to act In Us official capacity and
docs act tn good faith and within the
apparent scope of its powers. In such
case tho Insured cannot under a policy
of the kind now In question raise an In
quiry as to whether the exercise of the
'.lawful power was justified by the cir
cumstances Of tho particular case.
This Is an action on contract against
one who did not cause tho loss and
must be governed by the terms of the
contract. What questions the Insured
might properly raise In an action of
tort against the alleged wrongdoe.
though a civil authority, -who has set
his property on lire Is another mat
ter."
Health casc from the Amerl
Uonrd'n can civil war Is cltel,
Liability wherein the Union com
niander ordered a building to
bo burned to prevent Its being
used as a military storehouse by tho
rebels. The Are spread to another
building, on which was Insurnneo with
the exemption of loss caused by In
vaslon or usurped power. Tho
United States Supreme Court held that
the cause was the order of the Union
commander and not the Invasion or
usurped power that occasioned the
order.
"In cases of that kind," tho Court
says, "there was a well recognized mili
tary necessity and duty to destroy
property of that kind under such cir
cumstances, so that In making the con
tract such losses could fairly be con
sidered as Intended to come within (ho
scope of the exception. Hut there Is no
well known necessity or duty or prac
tlco of burning buildings In case of
plague or other Infectious or con
tnglous diseases. Whether
the Hoard was Justified tn Issuing the
order Is not a question before us."
