Beek v. Ohio Casualty Insurance Company
Supreme Court of New Jersey · Decided May 13, 1977 · Per Curiam
373 A.2d 654; 73 N.J. 185; 1977 N.J. LEXIS 193 (Atlantic Reporter, Second Series)

Beek v. Ohio Casualty Insurance Company

Opinion

Per Curiam.

We affirm essentially .for the reasons expressed by Judge Bischoff, 135 N. J. Super. 1 (App. Div. 1975). The principle expressed in Motor Club of America Ins. Co. v. Phillips, 66 N. J. 277 (1974) is equally applicable to the factual situation here. We see no reason to differentiate between the plaintiff’s use of a non-owned or owned vehicle insofar as recovery is warranted under the uninsured motorist endorsement in a separate policy on another vehicle owned by the plaintiff.

*187 For affirmance — Chief Justice Hughes, Justices Mountain, Sullivan, Pashman, Clifford and Schreiber. and Judge Conford — 7.

For reversal — None.
