29 A.2d 782 | N.H. | 1942
"It is the general rule that a bailee has no right to delegate his power of user unless there is some understanding or agreement to that effect." Aetna Life Insurance Company v. Chandler,
The argument that the clause in question was designed "for the protection of those lawfully travelling upon the public highway" and that "as long as the chain of express permissions has not been broken by a conversion or by an illegal taking, the policy should cover," might well be addressed to the legislature in advocacy of change in the Financial Responsibility Act. It suggests no ground for holding the insurer responsible for a wholly unpermitted use of the insured car under a policy which covers only "use with the permission of the named assured."
Judgment for the plaintiff.
