Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

the High Court by A. Tomlinson (Hauliers) Ltd., of Nottingham, for payment under an insurance policy following the theft of 7 m. cigarettes (worth about £50,000) from Iwo of their lorries at the City Road. London, depot of the Imperial Tobacco Company in May, 1961.

Giving judgment with costs for the plaintiffs against Mr. D. F. Hepburn, a Lloyd's underwriter who subscribed to a Lloyd's policy covering the plaintiffs for goods in transit, Mr. Justice Roskill held that the stolen cigarettes were covered by the policy because although they had reached their destination they had not been unloaded. The insurers contended that cover under the policy had ended because the goods had reached their destination. •
