Captain Zarir Irani’s Introduction while presenting a
conference paper:
Captain Zarir Irani Presentation on Marine insurance and warranty
at the offshore support Vessel Technology Forum held in AbuDhabi.
In a well-researched presentation Capt. Zarir lrani spoke about
the Act, Principles, Warranties, Common Findings related to the
marine insurance sector. He mentioned that worldwide Marine insurance
contracts take into consideration the statute mentioned in the Marine
Insurance Act 1906 and the majority of the worldwide marine insurance
is governed by this Act. During his talk he pointed out the five
basic principles of marine insurance that should be adhered to viz:
Insurable interest, Utmost Good Faith, Proximate Cause., indemnity
and Subrogation. He categorically stated that all contracts of marine
insurance are contracts ‘Uberrimae Fidei’ i.e. of the utmost good
faith’ and if the utmost good faith is not observed by either party,
the contract may be voided by the other party (the underwriters).
Proximate Cause (or ‘causa proxima’) is derived from the legal dictum
causa proxima non remota spectatur’. This means that ‘the proximate
and not the remote cause to be considered’. The Act provides that
the insurer is liable for any loss proximately caused by a peril
insured against the mentioned.
Capt. Irani clearly explained the warranty clauses and its meaning.
In his well-attended paper, he mentioned that a warranty’s the same
as a “condition” on any other type of insurance policy. It is an
express or implied contractual undertaking by the assured that something
will or will not be done.
