A NSW court has ruled in favour of Commonwealth Insurance in a jewellery theft dispute that centred on whether a hole was cut into a bedroom ceiling from below to make it appear as if burglars had entered from the roof. The insured told the District Court his family’s cultural belief was to put faith in jewellery, rather than other forms of investment, and he kept items in a safe stored in a wardrobe at his unit, located on the upper level of a building in Brighton-Le-Sands.
