Direct action
|
|
Direct actionThe right of a third party who has a claim in responsibility against an insured to proceed directly by suit against the insurer, usually because the insured has been declared bankrupt or has become insolvent. In most jurisdictions, direct action is permitted only by statute.
RELATED TERMS--------------------------------------
Right
1) Sometimes it signifies a law, as when we say that natural right requires us to keep our promises, or that it commands restitution, or that it forbids murder. In our language it is seldom used in this sense. 2) It sometimes means that quality in our actions by which they are denominated just ones. This is usually denominated rectitude. 3) It is that quality in a person by which he can do certain actions, or possess certain things which belong to him by virtue of some title. In this sense, we use it when we say that a man has a right to his estate or a right to defend himself.
Party
Practice, contracts. When applied to practice, by party is understood either the plaintiff or defendant. In contracts, a party is one or more persons who engage to perform or receive the performance of some agreement.
Claim
A demand for resolution or remedy of a grievance, or for something that is rightly the claimant's. Example: A demand for payment to recover a loss protected by an insurance policy. A demand in a court of law filed by a claimant on any juridical issue he / she considers.
Responsibility
The obligation to answer for an act done, and to repair any injury it may have caused

Contracts. The person who procures an insurance on his property.
Suit
An action. The word suit in the 25th section of the judiciary act of 1789, applies to any proceeding in a court of justice, in which the plaintiff pursues, in such court, the remedy which the law affords him. An application for a prohibition is therefore a suit.

Bankruptcy is a proceeding of an equitable nature - a sequestration of a debtor's property that the creditors may resort to, instead of an ordinary suit at law or in equity.
Insolvent
1) It signifies a person whose estate is not sufficient to pay his debts. 2) A person is also said to be insolvent, who is under a present inability to answer, in the ordinary course of business, the responsibility which his creditors may enforce, by recourse to legal measures, without reference to his estate proving sufficient to pay all his debts, when ultimately wound up. 3) It signifies the situation of a person who has done some notorious act to divest himself of all his property, as a general assignment, or an application for relief, under bankrupt or insolvent laws.
