9. All Risk Type
• PAR/IAR has predominated in the property insurance market because of the
benefits it provides to both Insureds and Insurers.
• For Insureds, the All-Risk Form eases concerns about gaps in coverage;
• For insures;, it promotes efficiency by reducing the probability of underwriting
the same risk mutiple times.
• which party bears the burden of proof :
• Insureds generally bear the burden of proving that coverage for a particular cause
of loss Is triggered, while
• Insurers bear the burden of proving any exceptions to coverage. When an
exclusion applies, the burden usually shifts back to the Insured to establish any
exceptions to the exclusion.

18. General Conditions (More Slides)
15. Deductible
The number of deductibles applicable to a loss can be a cause of
contention (argument).
This is particularly the case where there are potentially multiple
causes of the property damage and business Interruption
Example of flood, wind or storm, the policy would normally
defined wheter flood, wind or storm constitutes one occurence,
and therefore one deductible is payable by the Insured, by
reference to a temporal limit, for for example 72 hour. Multiple
occurences would impact upon the number of deductibles and
affect the amount paid by the insured, insurer or reinsurer.
On the particularly large losses, where there are excess layers on
both insurance and reinsurance levels, this can create significant
Issues due to the varying Interests Involve

only;
The Stocks shall be covered on Market Value basis.
20. General Conditions (More Slides)
Calculation of the sum Insured under Section I takes the following Into
account:
Historical fugures are used but the bussines interruption lnsurance
Insures future losses ( trends and plans)
The maximum lndemnity period
Business interruption may start any time -o.g. end of Insurance period
Business lnterruption policy Insures Gross Profit
Insured's last published financial statements are used In determining Gross
Profit
The Gross Profit Is adjusted for inflation and any known events that may
affected the business results a.g. Pending installation of new machineries or
plants to increase production.
The length of the Indemnity period will also be considered. Annual figures
need to be proportionately Increased for periods longers than a year.
lnterruption may occur at any time even on the last day of Insurance. This
means that an lndemnity period at least 12 months more than what is
required should be applied. For 12 months - use a trend of 2 years ahead, etc.
21. Special Exclusions – Section I

Credits, or other Suspensive Sale Agreements
9. Property which at the time of the happening of loss descruction or damage is insured by or
would but for the existence of this policy be insured by any marine policy or policies.
23. Special Exclusions – Section I (Cont)
Loss destruction of or damage to the property insured directly or indirectly
caused by or arising out of or aggravated by:
Delay loss of market or other consequential or indirect loss or damage of any
kind or description whatsoever
Dishonesty, fraudulet act, truct, device, or other false pretence
Disappearance unexplained or inventory shortage
24. Special Exclusions – Section I (Cont)
Loss destruction of or damage to the property insured directly or indirectly
caused by or arising out of or aggravated by:
4. Joint leakage, failure of welds, cracking,
fracturing, collapse or overheating of
boilers, economisers, super heaters,
pressure vessels, or any range of steam
and feed piping in conection therewith
mechanical or electrical breakdown or
derangement in respect of the particular
machine apparatus of equipment in which
such breakdown or derangement
originates.
If leakage or seepage of water (including
humidity or vapor) occurs for a period of longer
than 14 days, damage to real property caused by
the seepage may be excluded from coverage
A “mechanical breakdown” of the moving parts
of machinery will also be excluded if the
breakdown results from intemal defects in the
machinery.
This exclusion, which is based upon the notion
that fortuitous losses are not covered, applies to
perils that are intrinsic to or hidden within the
property itself
25. Special Exclusions
The 'wear and tear" exclusion precludes coverage
for normal or ordinary damage to property that
occurs over the period of its useful life.
The related exclusion for "corrosion" excludes
coverage for rust, decay, and deterioration of
property.
These exclusions relate to the broader concept of
'inherent vice or latent defect’.
The "mold' exclusion, for which questions of
causation and ensuing loss are particularly
important to the coverage analysis.
5. All gradually operating
causes, including but not limited to
wear and
tear, rust, corrosion, mildew, moul
d, fungus, wet or dry rot, gradual
deterioration, latent
defect, inherent vice, slowly
developing deformation or
distortion, incects larvae or vermin
of any kind, microbes of any
kind, unless sudden and unforseen
physical loss destruction or damage
ensues in which case insurers
liability sall be limited to such
ensuing loss damage or descrution.
26. Intrepeting Special Exclusions (Cont)
• Viewed in that light, losses falling within the scope of the exclusion for wear and tear are not risks
at all, but rather Inevitable consequences.
• Consensus that these types of losses are not to be covered explains why there are so very few
decided cases concerning the precise scope of the exclusion.
• One decision that does provide some guidance in this area is Cyclops Corp. v. Home Insurance
Co.,51 where the Court stated:
Construing the words "wear and tear” In their everyday common usage, we are convinced
that the words "wear and tear” mean simply and solely that ordinary and natural
deterioration or abrasion which an object experiences by Its expected contacts between Its
component parts and outside objects during the period of Its natural life expectancy.
When the insurer does rely upon the wear and tear exclusion, the insured will argue that the
deterioration is remarkable or extraordinary, thereby removing the loss from the Intended
scope of the exclusion
27. Special Exclusions – Section I (Cont)
THE "INHERENT VICE" EXCLUSION
"Inherent vice” (sifat natural dari objek itu sendiri) generally involves internal
decomposition or some quality which brings about an object’s own damage
or destruction.
The inherent vice exclusion simply restates the need to demonstrate that a
loss arose from an “external cause”. If the property contains the seeds of its
own loss then the loss cannot be treated as the result of an external cause.
To the extent that a policy expressly requires proof of an external cause
(i.e., “all risks of direct physical loss of or damage ... from any external
cause except as hereinafter provided”), the exclusion is superfluous.
28. Special Exclusions – Section I (Cont)
THE “LATENT DEFECT" EXCLUSION
The “latent defect” exclusion is intended to preclude indemnity if the
loss or damage to the insurable property is attributable to a defect
which could not be discovered by known or customary tests.
The purpose of the exclusion Is to ensure that the insurer does not
become a guarantor of the quality or fitness of the insured's property.
That function is performed through enforcement of the contractual
obligations which the supplier of the property owes to the insured.
29. Special Exclusions – Section I (Cont)
"Latent Defects" and "Design Defects"
It is generally recognized that “latent defect” does not embrace "design
defect”. In Mattis v. State Farm Fire & Casualty Co., it was indicated that
"latent defect" was limited in its scope to any defects in the materials
used for construction and did not include matters of design or
construction.
30. Special Exclusions – Section I (Cont)
5. MECHANICAL OR ELECTRICAL BREAKDOWN OR DERANGEMENT IN OR ON THE
PREMISES, UNLESS FIRE ENSUES
There has been some progress by the courts with respect to the Interpretation of terms such as "mechanical
breakdown" and "derangement". As will be seen below, the courts have attempted to resolve the uncertainty
surrounding these terms by examining them in light of the rest of the policy and by looking at the context in
which the policy was drafted.
For example, in Jeffrey v. Insurance Corporation of British Columbia, 34
In reaching its conclusion, the court was guided by decisions in two similar cases and quoted the following
paragraph from a British Columbia Court of Appeal decision: 34 ( “Mechanics/ breakdown, It seems to me, must
be interpreted in the circumstances of this case and in its context as a failure in operation due to some
mechanical defect In some parts or parts of the equipment when properly assembled to constitute a crane.
Here the figure to operate was due to negligence in assembling the machine so that it could function as an
operating unit... There was an operating failure not due to any mechanical defect but to negligences”
31. Special Exclusions – Section I (Cont)
6. Pollution or contamination
unless caued by fire, lightning,
explosion, aircraft, or other
aerial devices or articles
dropped there from riot, civil
commotion, strikes, locked out
workers, persons taking part in
lapour disctubances, malicious
persons (other than thieves),
earthquake, storm, flood,
escape of water from any tank,
apparatus or pipe or impact by
any road vehicle or animal.
The scope of the “pollution” exclusion, has been
the subject of much dispute.
In the property insurance context, most courts
limit the exclusion to “environmental pollution”
as that terms is commonly understood.

Enforcement of ordinances or
decisions by a government

confiscation of property by a
government actor.

3. Arising from false or unautorised
programming, punching, labelling or
inserting, inadvertent cancelling of
information or discarding of data media
and from loss information caused by
magnetic fields.
The faulty workmanship and
faulty design exclusions are
commonly disputed in the
construction industry. Some
courts limit the faulty
Workmanship exclusion to
defects in the final
product, while others apply the
exclusion to all losses caused
by negligence during
construction, even those caused
by third parties

38. Basic of Insurance – Section II
Reduction of Turnover
Menurunnya omset perusahaan
Basis of Insurance: the policy will set out the basis upon which the business Interruption claim is
to be calculated.
Often this is limited to the 'loss of Gross Profit, due to the Reduction In Turnover.
However, there may be the option of presenting a claim on an output alternative or loss of
production Income basis.
The basis on which the claim is presented can impact slgnificanly upon the resources and skill
sets required for the calculation of the loss, as well as the amount of the loss.
Often the starting point of the calculation will be to look at the financial year immediately
before the date of damage In order to assess standard turnover or output.
40. Basic of Insurance – Section II
Increase on Cost Working
Increase on cost working are incurred to:
Reduce the severity of the BI loss
Reduce the duration of te interruption
• The policy allows for additional costs to be incurred in order to prevent a
loss of Gross Profit arising, but not exceeding the amount that would be
payable If lhe latter did transpire. This Is known as the 'economic limit’.
• Overtime working by staff to avoid a loss of Turnover is a good example.

The variable expenses of the business which are not
insured by this policy:
a. Turnover and prchases taxes

• The only expenses that should be listed as
uninsured are those that, in each insured’s own

variable that they will always be saved in
proportion to any lost sales
• There should be no reduction of fixed cost, such as

46. Basic of Insurance – Section II
HOW DO YOU CALCULATE THE REDUCTION IN TURNOVER?
The turnover during the period of Interruption is subtracted from the turnover achieved in the
same period last year (the Standard Turnover).
Particularry for manufacturing businesses, a reduction in turnover has a corresponding
reduction in the cost of business e.g. material costs, freight, packaging etc.
Therefore, the difference, or reduction In turnover is multiplied by the rate of gross profit.
The rate of gross profit is the procentage of the business turnover that was gross profit in the
previous financial year.
The sum of the reduction In turnover and the rate of gross profit would give a straigh forward
mathematical answer to the value of the first part of the claim.
Unfortunately though, it is not quite that simple. The definitions of Standard Turnover and the
rate of gross profit usually include very broad adjustment clauses which allow trends and
circumstances both before and after the property damage to be taken into account
48. Basic of Insurance – Section II
Increased Cost of Working - ICOW
Add. Increased cost of working -AICOW
ICOW This is additional expenditure reasonably and necessarily incurred by the insured for the
sole purpose of avoiding or diminishing the loss in turnover as a consequence of the damage
subject to economic limit
There may be an extension to the policy which provides an Indemnity or the costs Incurred by
the insured which are In excess of the limits provided under the policy or the increased cost of
working. This Is known as the additional increased cost of working.
A key issue in respect of daims Involving these elements is documentation of the decision
making process and costs, often omitted in the haste to get back to business.
