SECOND-PERMITTEE DOCTRINE

second-permittee doctrine.Insurance. The principle that, when a third person is allowed to use

an insured’s car by permission granted by someone else to whom the insured gave permission to

use the car, the third person’s use of the car will be a permissive use, under the insured’s

automobile-liability-insurance policy, as long as that use falls within the scope of the permission

originally given by the insured. [Cases: Insurance 2666.C.J.S. Insurance §§ 1051–1052.] [Blacks Law 8^th]
