Policy proof of interest (PPI)

Policy whereby the insurer waives proof of insurable interest when settling a claim. The policy is unenforceable as it is a wagering contract but is otherwise valid.

A PPI clause is attached to the policy, otherwise known as an ‘honour policy’, peculiar to marine insurance.
