Marine Insurance Act, 1963
29. Valued policy
(1) A policy may be
either valued or unvalued.
(2) A valued policy is
a policy which specifies the agreed value of the subject-matter insured.
(3) Subject to the
provisions of this Act, and in the absence of fraud, the value fixed by the
policy is, as between the insurer and assured, conclusive of the insurable
value of the subject intended to be insured, whether the loss be total or
partial.
(4) Unless the policy
otherwise provides, the value fixed by the policy is not conclusive for the
purpose of determining whether there has been a constructive total loss.
