Question juridique clé
Whether the insurer was entitled to deny benefits because of the policyholder's contractual breaches
Solution extraite
The insurer could refuse performance because several culpable contractual breaches were established.
Motifs extraits
The Federal Supreme Court held that multiple unchallenged breaches remained: late reporting of the claims, failure to provide information/cooperate, and unauthorized appointment of a lawyer. These alone justified denial of benefits.
