Practice question: Premium

Multiple Choice Hard

Practice question

A non-life policy is issued under a valid broker agreement with a duly licensed intermediary granting the statutory ninety-day credit extension. A covered event occurs on day fifty while that extension remains effective. The insurer relies solely on nonpayment before loss and says the general premium rule has no broker-agreement exception. Which is best?
  1. Section 77 expressly recognizes the stated credit exception; the insurer's categorical argument fails
  2. The exception can never apply to a licensed broker
  3. Every policy requires cash before any coverage despite the statutory text
  4. The extension may automatically run for ten years
  5. A broker agreement eliminates every other coverage condition
