Counsel submitted that the third party could only take out “full insurance coverage." if it had notice of the maximum value of the goods it was bound to transport at any given time under the agreement of transport but no evidence of such notice was proved in evidence. Quoting the Interpretation of Contracts by Lewinson (supra) page 211 a phrase maybe rejected as meaningless if it has no application in the circumstances of the case and invited court to reject the above cited phrase. Counsel further submitted that TPW1 testimony is that the Third Party took out a policy of insurance and has had the same renewed by way of a renewal endorsement exhibit TP1 which was presented to the Defendant as evidence of a valid policy.

The Defendant invoked clause 8.3 and submitted that in any event the taking out of insurance is irrelevant in determining the Third Parties liability while the third party’s counsel disagreed with the interpretation and submitted that the 45
