Study Notes
Elements of Insurance Contract
- Consent
- Subject Matter
- Cause
Takaful Insurance
- A collective scheme for achieving solidarity and cooperation among contributors
- Contributors pay a "contribution" to a fund
- Compensation is paid to eligible persons when a risk occurs
Parties to the Insurance Contract
- Insurer (typically an insurance company or mutual association)
- Insured (the person or entity purchasing insurance)
The Insurer
- Any entity assuming liability for a risk in exchange for a premium
- Often a joint-stock company with separate legal personality from shareholders and insured parties
- Collects premiums to cover insured risks and pay out insurance amounts when risks materialize
- Can be a mutual or cooperative association (not-for-profit) where members combine roles of insurer and insured
Insurance Intermediaries
- Individuals representing the insurer and offering insurance to the public
- Their authority depends on the level granted to conclude insurance contracts
The Insured
- The person entering into the insurance policy
- Default assumption is that the policyholder is also the insured and beneficiary
- Evidence may show otherwise (e.g., contract specifies different insured/beneficiary)
- The insured event occurs with the policyholder and insured party
- Beneficiary may be separate (e.g. spouse or children) as specified in the contract
Unique Insured Scenario
- A single individual can be policyholder/insured, and beneficiary, while the named insured is someone else (e.g., creditor insuring debtor's life)
- Policyholder assumes obligations and becomes beneficiary, while the debtor remains named insured.
