Policy

Akopọ

When a claim is disputed, nobody argues over what was said across the counter. Everyone turns to one document: the policy. It is the black and white record of the bargain, and knowing how to read it is the difference between a candidate who guesses and one who can point to the exact clause that settles the matter.

This lesson opens the policy up and shows you what each part is for. You will learn why lawyers call the policy evidence of the contract rather than the contract itself, you will meet its seven parts in the order they appear, from the heading down to the signature, and you will learn who the parties to a policy are and what each of them stands to gain or lose.

Emeka insures his provision store in Nnewi against fire. A year later a fire started by rioters guts the shop. He files a claim, certain he is covered, and the insurer declines. Emeka is furious until his broker turns to a single page of the document and shows him one short paragraph that quietly took riot out of the cover. The paragraph was always there. Emeka had simply never read his policy. Learn how a policy is built and you can read any one of them, tell at a glance what is covered and what is not, and answer the examiner's favourite question: which part of a policy does this job?
