SC: Parties cannot rely upon the definitions of terrorism in penal statutes since the Exclusion Clause contains an exhaustive definition

Last updated: 07 June 2022
Quick Summary
The Supreme Court has ruled that insurance companies cannot rely on definitions of 'terrorism' found in penal statutes when applying an exclusion clause in a policy. Instead, they must adhere strictly to the definition provided within the policy's exclusion clause itself, which is considered exhaustive. The court found that the insurance company had wrongly repudiated a claim by using an external definition of terrorism, and ordered the case to be reheard.
