Question 1 of 3
The entire-contract rule excludes the unattached memo, while the attached reinstatement provision controls how the post-reinstatement sickness claim is evaluated. This emphasizes the importance of adhering to the policy’s documented terms, particularly when dealing with reinstated coverage. What are the key elements of the entire-contract rule, and how does it impact the interpretation of policy provisions?
Strong Interview Answer
The entire-contract rule limits the contract to the policy, attached papers, and properly approved changes. It means that an insurer cannot rely on unattached private notes to alter coverage. In this case, the attached reinstatement provision governs the claim, not the unpublished memo.
