The following excerpt is from Shelton v. Insurance Corp. of British Columbia, 1993 CanLII 1427 (BC CA):

11 Counsel for the appellant refers to some of the above provisions which he says suggest that "use" does not include activities relating to maintenance, and also to the decision of this court in Czarnuch v. Devon Transport (above), in support of his contention that the appellant is entitled to indemnity under Clause 3 notwithstanding the exclusion clause.
