Question
Maria, a famous national hero, was involved in an accident recently during which her brand new Lexus Jeep was damaged beyond repairs. The accident was caused by the recklessness of the driver of Bogus Company Limited. Since the Jeep was insured under comprehensive insurance by Absolve Insurance Plc, the insurance company processed Maria’s claim and gave her a brand new Lexus Jeep.
Thereafter, Chief Generous, a philanthropist, decided to give Maria a brand new Lexus Jeep to replace her damaged Jeep in view of her previous services to the country.
Absolve Insurance Plc wrote a letter to Maria requesting her to return the Lexus Jeep gift she received from Chief Generous since it has subrogation right over the Jeep. Maria has refused to return the Lexus Jeep.
