Alistair Schaff and Stephen Kenny – It was proper for an underwriter subscribing to a policy of insurance to be sued as a representative of the other subscribers, even in the absence of a “leading underwriter” clause, or other cost-sharing arrangement.

Insurance (Marine) – Representative action – Underwriters declined to pay on insurance claim – No leading underwriter clause – Whether Court had power to appoint one defendant to represent others – Liability for costs of action.
