Landslip
Property insurance peril held to mean a rapid downward movement under the influence of gravity of a mass or rock or earth on a slope. The word rapid may in some cases give way to the concept of the ‘slow accident. Pressure built up over time before pushing over a wall may be landslip (Ombudsman view). Landslip is insured as an additional peril alongside subsidence and heave. In all forms of cover, normal land settlement and coastal erosion are excluded together with damage to boundary walls, gates and fences unless the buildings are damaged at the same time.

Lapping
Theft from one customer being covered by theft from another, generally by means of false entries in books of accounts.
Lapse
A lapse is a gap in coverage, either because a policy expired and an insured did not renew the policy or the insured failed to make a premium payment and coverage was terminated. If other coverage is not obtained to immediately take effect, there is a gap in coverage during which there is no insurance for any losses. In automobile insurance, this may result in the insured being penalized by the Department of Motor Vehicles for having no insurance coverage, even if the lapse is for only one day.
