Can an insured automobile be considered a vehicle that is not insured but uninsured?
Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from Oliveira v. Mullings, 2009 CanLII 3983 (ON SC):
The Court of Appeal Maddalena v. Crouse, supra, case upheld the decision of Lofchik J. and stated that "There was no indication that the legislature intended to limit employee coverage to those employees who did not own vehicles covered by other policies. A plain reading of the statute led to the conclusion that the insured automobile could not be the same vehicle as the uninsured vehicle" (emphasis added).
