Cevap

Crestview Indemnity pays the full 3,000,0003,000,000 to the insured and is subsequently indemnified for 1,800,0001,800,000 by Apex Reinsurance.
The correct answer accurately reflects the principle of privity in reinsurance. Crestview Indemnity is legally bound by the original insurance contract to pay the policyholder the full amount of the covered loss (3,000,000).Oncethatobligationismet,Crestview′squotasharetreatywithApexReinsuranceistriggered,andApexindemnifiesCrestviewforits3,000,000). Once that obligation is met, Crestview's quota share treaty with Apex Reinsurance is triggered, and Apex indemnifies Crestview for its 60\%share( share ( 1,800,000).

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Determine the legal relationship (privity) between the parties.
The insured only has a contract with Crestview Indemnity. Crestview Indemnity has a separate contract with Apex Reinsurance.
Reinsurance is an agreement solely between insurers. The original insured is not a party to the reinsurance contract.
2
Calculate the financial obligations based on the quota share treaty.
Crestview retains 40%40\% (1,200,0001,200,000) and cedes 60%60\% (1,800,0001,800,000) of the 3,000,0003,000,000 loss.
In a quota share treaty, losses and premiums are shared proportionately based on the agreed percentages.
3
Establish the correct settlement procedure.
Crestview must pay the insured the full 3,000,0003,000,000 policy limit, and then Apex Reinsurance reimburses (indemnifies) Crestview for the 1,800,0001,800,000 ceded share.
The ceding insurer remains fully liable to the policyholder for the entire covered loss, regardless of any reinsurance agreements in place.
