Judgment, 23 September 1987.

Abstract

The Court held that a private insurance company must pay for the second and third attempts at in-vitro fertilization made by an insured couple. It ruled that, although the insurance company must have regard to the community of insurance holders as a whole and in-vitro fertilization is not vitally necessary to health and well-being, nonetheless, payment for the two further in-vitro- fertilization procedures is not unreasonable.
