Sir Ninian Stephen, past Justice of the High Court of Australia and past Australian Governor-General, made significant contributions to the development of insurance law.  His judgment in the matter of The Distillers Company Biochemical (Australia) Pty Ltd v Ajax Insurance Company Ltd [1974] HCA 3; (1974) 130 CLR 1, is still regularly referred to more than 40 years later as the starting point for any discussion in relation to the post-contractual duty of utmost good faith and aggregation clauses.
