Whether insurer-indemnity interest runs from service on the insured and how interim payments are allocated between heads of damages.
Insurance — indemnity for insured’s liability — insurer takes on insured’s liability including interest accruing from date writ served on insured
Interest — determination of date from which interest on general damages runs where insurer indemnifies insured
Allocation — interim payments should be applied first to interest on special damages, then to interest on general damages, before reducing principal. Application of Bristow v Judd as guidance on allocation of interim payments to differing interest-bearing heads
