Congregate housing

Individual apartments in which residents may receive some services such as a daily meal with other tenants.

Such housing may be rent-subsidized, which is known as Section 8 housing .

Connecte contract

Certain non-investment insurance contracts that are sold by providers of non-motor goods (domestic electrical goods) and services related to travel, e.g. non-motor extended warranties and travel insurance sold with a holiday that are not subject to FSA rules on selling and administration.

Connected persons rule

Pension scheme rule under SSASs preventing the scheme from dealing with members or connected persons in terms of buying, selling, leasing, etc. In the case of past members three years must elapse before the scheme can purchase an investment owned by a previous member or connected person.

Consecutive causes

1. Broken sequence of events. If an insured peril has been preceded by excepted perils, they will be disregarded given the break in the chain of causation. If the insured peril intervenes and causes the loss it is the proximate cause. 2. Unbroken sequence of events. When the insured peril is the natural and probable consequence of an excepted peril, the excepted peril is the proximate cause. When the excepted peril is the natural and probable consequence of the insured peril the latter is the proximate cause of the loss. See CONCURRENT CAUSES.

Consensus ad idem

***
