Which of the following is NOT a contract of indemnity?
AA life insurance contract
BA marine insurance contract
CA fire insurance contract
DAn express promise to compensate for a third party's conduct
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. A life insurance contract
Fire and marine insurance are contracts of indemnity, but a life insurance contract is not, since it pays a fixed sum rather than indemnifying an actual loss.
