1798
John Scougal sued Robert Young and the other underwriters for an unpaid average loss on flax and pot ashes damaged when the vessel ran aground, notwithstanding that most of the underwriters had already settled. The defenders argued that the insurance policy had not been ordered before the loss was known, and maintained that even if it had been, they were not deceived by any concealment.AI-generated
