Policies that contravene the Marine Insurance (Gambling Policies) Act 1909. It is not legal to enter into a marine insurance without a bona fide interest, or possibility thereof, in the subject matter insured. It is also an offence for a shipowner’s employee, not being a part-owner, to effect a policy on PPI terms. The Act prevents gambling in marine insurance.
