Practice question: Rescission of Insurance Contracts

Multiple Choice Medium

Practice question

The terms of insurance expressly waive communication of a specified fact. No separate inquiry overrides the stipulated facts and no other misrepresentation or ground exists. The insurer seeks rescission solely because that fact was not volunteered. Which is correct?
  1. Every waived fact remains subject to an absolute disclosure duty
  2. The express waiver must be considered under Sections 30(c) and 33; nondisclosure of that fact alone does not establish the asserted duty.
  3. Waiver can never affect disclosure
  4. Only the original insured may ever invoke the Code
  5. A policy term cannot be read
