5) Answer: e)
Insurance is subject to a more stringent common law principle of good faith, often called the principle of utmost good faith. It means that each party is under a duty to reveal all vital information (called material facts) to the other party, whether or not that other party asks for it. Indemnity means an exact financial compensation for an insured loss, no more no less.
The contribution is a claims-related doctrine of equity which applies as between insurers in the event of double insurance, a situation where two or more policies have been affected by or on behalf of the insured on the same interest or any part thereof, and the aggregate of the sums insured exceeds the indemnity legally allowed.
The principle of subrogation enables the insured to claim the amount from the third party responsible for the loss. It allows the insurer to pursue legal methods to recover the amount of loss.
6) Answer: b)
Insurance that offers coverage to low-income households is micro insurance. This is similar to that of regular insurance except to the fact that it targets low-income people. The target population mainly consists of people ignored by mainstream commercial and social insurance scheme. Insured people pay considerably smaller premiums.
7) Answer: b)
When you apply for a fire insurance policy, the current market value of the property or the Reinstatement value of the property, depending upon the basis of the Sum Insured, should be accurately calculated for arriving at the correct amount to be insured.
The compensation payable when a covered loss or damage occurs shall be based on whether or not the property has been insured adequately.
If the amount insured is excessive, it will mean overpayment of unnecessary premium; if the amount insured is inadequate you will receive amounts in proportion to the market value only.
