[2011] EWCA Civ 1532

A car passenger could not claim under the Motor Insurers' Bureau Agreement after he had been injured while in possession of cannabis with intent to supply, as the vehicle was being used in the course or furtherance of a crime within cl.6(1)(e)(iii) of the Agreement. Further, "crime" in that clause could not be read as being restricted to "serious crime"; that would leave the clause with little practical purpose.
