Question

Maddox Auto Parts, Inc., contracted with Billy's Mufflers Co. to purchase 35 mufflers from their warehouse supplies. All the mufflers Maddox Auto Parts ordered were already made and packaged and merely required transportation to Maddox Auto Parts. Billy's Mufflers wrote out an order form designating which 35 mufflers were to go to Maddox Auto Parts. If a question as to when Maddox Auto Parts acquired an insurable interest in the mufflers were to arise, a court would likely hold that
Maddox Auto Parts gained an insurable interest in the mufflers:
A. at the time of contracting.
B. at the time the mufflers were
C. given to the carrier.
D. at the time of delivery.
E. 24 hours before delivery.

Answer 1

Answer: A. at the time of contracting.

Explanation:

Insurable interest is the reasonable concern to obtain insurance against unforeseen events such like losses or death. Insurable interest is when the loss of an object or damage would result in a financial loss.

Based on the information given, Maddox Auto Parts gained an insurable interest in the mufflers at the time of contracting. An individual will gain an insurable interest immediately s contract takes place.

Therefore, the correct option is A.
