16 March 2009 Section 37 starts with "any expenditure incurred". What is relevant is the factum of incurrance of expenditure, it is irrelevant as to in what name the property is there.
For example if office is in the name of some other person, but expenditure incurred in maintenance of office is allowed. Trademark may be owned by some other person, but advertisement expenditure to promote that mark may be allowed as deduction. Thus ownership is not relevant for the purpose of Section 37.
Yes, if the property is in the name of other person, higher burden is on the assessee to establish that the expenditure is for business only.

17 March 2009 No, depreciation is allowable to the legal owner of the asset only.
In my opinion, the insurance may even be not allowable if there is no written contract for right to use by the company with the director.
