Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court addressed the issue of liability in cases where a driving licence has expired. It was determined that the existence of a valid driving licence at the time of the accident is crucial for the insured's liability. The court emphasized that the expiry of the licence does not absolve the insured from liability if the licence was valid when the accident occurred, leading to the affirmation of the lower court's award for compensation.
