Zuber & Company LLP in Toronto
David Zuber was successful in defending CorePointe Insurance and Daimler Chrysler Financial Services against a lawsuit brought by an injured passenger who claimed that Daimler Chrysler was responsible as the lessor of the defendant vehicle and CorePointe had to indemnify the underinsured defendant driver. This case upheld the Insurance Act amendments, section 267.12(1) that limit the liability of leasing companies and their insurers to $1 million. Leave to the Supreme Court of Canada was sought by the plaintiffs but was dismissed.
