Florida Statutes, Rules, and Regulations Common to All Lines
A company promises to pay a fixed sum to a subscriber on a date certain, with no contingency attached. Why does that fall outside the statutory definition of insurance?
Answer and explanation
Answer: C. Section 624.02 requires that the amount or determinable benefit be payable upon determinable contingencies, so a sum payable on a date certain lacks the contingency the definition demands. Whether premium passes, whether a certificate of authority is held, and whether the promise is written are separate questions governed by other sections.Source: Fla. Stat. § 624.02 — 624.02, Determinable contingency
