Court rules in favour of fruit wholesaler in grape dispute
Article Abstract:
Ontario Tree Fruits Ltd. of Toronto, Canada, will be paid around C$2 million by the company's insurance firm, Toronto, Canada-based Guardian Insurance Co. of Canada, as ordered by the Ontario Court of Appeal over a grape dispute. Ontario Tree Fruits was compelled by the government to dump the grapes that the company imported from Chile in 1989 due to reported contamination of the supply. The exact amount for the loss incurred by Ontario Tree Fruits will be decided by a trial court. Guardian Insurance asserted that the wholesaler's policy did not include "property...confiscated for breach of any measure or as required by any public authority."
