Questão jurídica principal
Whether the defendant had acted as direct insurer/representative and whether the hearing reasoning was insufficient
Decisão extraída
The Federal Court upheld the finding that no actual intent to act as representative was established and held the reasoning adequate.
Fundamentação extraída
The lower court could infer from the testimony and circumstances that the deckungszusage was not made as direct representation of the local insurer; once no representative intent existed, further proof on apparent authority or third-party understanding was unnecessary.
