Duration of policy

Where an insurance is expressed to cover the period from one particular day to another, the insurance expires at midnight on the last day unless otherwise stated. However, a policy may not run its course for the following reasons: (a) payment of the full sum under the policy discharges it; (b) agreement between the parties; (c) termination by the insured in the case of permanent contracts (life and income protection), normally by non-payment of the premium; (d) withdrawal from contract during the cooling-off period; (e) determination for breach of condition or warranty.
