Pr!n#!&(e o' Utmost Good 0a!t


Both the parties i.e. Insurer and Insured should ha!e good faith to"ards each other. It is a duty of insured to !oluntarily disclose accurately and fully all material fact to the insurer #no"n to him "hether re$uested or not. %aterial facts in!ol!e e!ery circumstance "hich "ould influence the &udgment of a insurer % et er: 'a( he should accept the ris# and 'b( "hat premium he should charge

Insurable Interest

)he insured must ha!e insurable interest in the sub&ect matter of insurance.

Insurable Interest ( Contd..)


*xistence of insurable interest at the time of happening of the e!ent

y it n m e d n I f o le ip c in r P Indemnity means a guarantee or assurance to put the insured in the


same position in which one was immediately prior to the happening of the uncertain event.
Under this, the insurer agrees to compensate the insured for the actual loss suffered. It is applicable to fire, marine and other general insurance. Exception +ife insurance is not a contract of indemnity.

Pr!n#!&(e o' Pro7!mate Ca"se


v )his principle states that only the immediate and dominate cause is to be considered and not the distant cause or cause that brea#s the chain of e!ents. v If the proximate cause of loss is insured then the insurer is liable to compensate the loss, other"ise the insurer may not be responsible for loss.

Contribution
Contribution is defined as the right of insurers "ho ha!e paid a loss under a policy to reco!er a proportionate amount from other insurers "ho are liable for the same ris#.
Co!er can only arise "hen the policies Cover t e same &er!( Cover t e same s"b2e#t matter Are e''e#ted by or on be a(' o' t e same !ns"redIf an insured obtains more than one policy co!ering the same ris# he cannot reco!er the same loss from more than one source so that he is not benefited by more than .Indemnity/.
